Rolex Yacht-Master 37

Why We Love the Rolex Yachtmaster 37

The Rolex Yacht-Master 37 in stainless steel and platinum perfectly captures Rolex’s maritime heritage while offering a more refined take on the professional sports watch. First introduced in 1992, the Yacht-Master was conceived not as a deep-sea tool like the Submariner, but as a luxury sports watch for life above the waves — designed for sailing, coastal living, and the social world that surrounds it.

The 37mm Rolesium configuration — combining Oystersteel with a solid platinum bezel — is one of the most distinctive in the collection. The sandblasted platinum dial and raised polished numerals on the bidirectional bezel create depth and contrast, giving the watch a subtle yet unmistakable presence. Unlike dive bezels, the Yacht-Master’s bidirectional bezel is designed for practical timing tasks such as race countdowns and manoeuvres during regattas, reinforcing its connection to competitive sailing.

The 37mm case offers exceptional wearability, sitting comfortably on a wide range of wrists while maintaining strong visual impact. Powered by Rolex’s in-house automatic movement, it delivers the precision, durability, and reliability expected of a modern Rolex sports model.

At Swiss Watch Club, we value the Yacht-Master 37 for its balance. It retains the robustness of Rolex’s professional line, yet introduces precious metal and softer lines that elevate it beyond a pure tool watch. For collectors seeking a Rolex sports model that transitions effortlessly from the deck of a yacht to an evening setting, the Yacht-Master 37 stainless steel and platinum remains one of the most versatile and refined choices in the range.
