Material:  Oystersteel with 950 platinum bezel (Rolesium)

Color Dial: Slate Grey

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 reference 16622 introduced Rolesium, Rolex's pairing of Oystersteel with 950 platinum, to the Yacht-Master line. Rolex's nautical-inspired sports model sits between the Submariner and the Datejust, and the 16622 gives it a quietly technical character: a 40mm Oystersteel case paired with a solid platinum bidirectional rotatable bezel with raised, polished numerals and a fine sand-blasted background. The slate grey dial is a cool, understated alternative to the reference's original platinum dial, with luminous hour markers and hands and a date aperture at 3 o'clock under a Cyclops lens.

Inside is the Rolex calibre 3135, the self-winding chronometer-certified movement that powered much of the Rolex sports lineup for decades, with a rapid-set date and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The Oyster case is water resistant to 100 meters, and the watch is fitted with an Oystersteel Oyster bracelet with folding Oysterlock safety clasp.
