rolex farr® 40 world championship
For 96 hours, the Rolex Farr® 40 Worlds turns the Tasman Sea into an ocean of sameness. In a championship where yacht owners must
skipper their own craft, and rules require that boats and total weight be equal, teams must work together perfectly, ready to exploit any
opportunity the wind and sea provide. A mere split second – something the ocean can give and take away pretty quickly – may be all that’s
needed to win.

to redefining the purpose and functionality of the bezel.

in use, it is functionally beautiful.
the triplock
winding crown
To protect the movement from water and
dust, Rolex invented the Oyster case in 1926.
And then, in 1954 created and patented
the Triplock winding crown to ensure even
greater protection. The Triplock consists
of 10 different elements crafted from the
most reliable materials. Once assembled, it
screws down onto the Oyster case as tightly
and securely as a submarine hatch.
4160 movement
Unequalled, like every Rolex before it, the
Yacht-Master II is a product of legendary
craftsmanship. At its core lies the 4160
movement, the result of 35,000 development
hours and 360 individual components.
Technically brilliant, on or off the water, its
signature complication is a programmable
countdown with mechanical memory. With
a column wheel that extends through the
main plate, both sides of the movement are
connected. This ingenious design enables
the perfect synchronisation between the
different elements of the countdown. The
result? Racers can now set their watch to the
exact regatta starting sequences.
