The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116680 is a regatta instrument with little interest in being discreet: its blue bezel and horseshoe countdown scale make that clear before you touch a control. The attraction is a genuinely unusual complication—a programmable countdown with mechanical memory, designed to synchronize with a race’s starting sequence.

Introduced in 2013, the steel version pairs that theatrical dial with the 4161, using the Ring Command bezel as part of the setting mechanism rather than merely as a rotating scale. There’s a meaningful choice within this reference: earlier examples have straight hands, while the 2017 update brought a Mercedes hour hand and more distinctive markers at six and twelve. Choose the earlier dial for its original look, the later one for easier orientation at a glance.

Before committing, have the countdown demonstrated through programming, starting, and synchronization. That interaction between bezel, crown, and pushers is the watch’s reason for being—not just an extra hand to admire.
