The Rolex Yacht-Master 226658 puts a substantial yellow-gold case on a black Oysterflex bracelet, giving it a very different character from a gold Rolex on matching metal. Its matte black ceramic bezel, with polished raised numerals, keeps that contrast going: there’s plenty of gold here, but it doesn’t dominate every surface. Introduced in 2022, this reference brought yellow gold to the 42mm Yacht-Master format; it’s the one to consider if the 40mm versions feel a little restrained on your wrist.

Oysterflex is central to the experience, with flexible metal blades beneath the elastomer and underside cushions that help support the case. Pay attention to the fitted Oysterflex segment sizes: the clasp’s Glidelock adjustment offers useful fine-tuning, but won’t compensate for substantially wrong lengths. The bidirectional bezel is another deliberate distinction from a Submariner—handy for casual timing, rather than a diver’s safety instrument.
