The Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226658 refined the line’s maritime aesthetic without abandoning its understated DNA. Its introduction surprised those accustomed to more conventional sizes, yet it never feels forced on the wrist. The interplay between the 18ct yellow gold case, black Cerachrom bezel, and that clever Oysterflex strap redefines what a luxury sports watch can be—no harsh reflections, just a confident silhouette that glides through daily wear. It’s the kind of piece you understand only by spending time with it, discovering how the muted palette reacts under changing light, or how the subtle tweaks in proportions elevate comfort.
