Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 Super Clone : Yellow Gold Regatta Chronograph 44mm Overview

The Yacht-Master II 116688 is the 18-karat yellow gold version of the Rolex regatta chronograph, built here with a blue Cerachrom ceramic Ring Command bezel and a white dial. This super clone follows the 116688 reference with a 44mm yellow gold Oyster case, a screw-down Triplock crown, and the three-link gold Oyster bracelet for $1,599. Every proportion, the countdown subdial layout, and each bracelet link follow the genuine reference within tight production tolerance.

Case, Crown and Lug Profile - 44mm Yellow Gold Build

The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 super clone carries a 44mm Oyster case built in 18-karat yellow gold for accurate weight, warm tone, and corrosion resistance. The case alternates mirror-polished surfaces along the lugs and flanks with the broad shoulders that give the 116688 its substantial regatta-chronograph presence on the wrist. The screw-down Triplock crown at 3 o'clock seals the case for water resistance to 100 meters.

Blue Cerachrom Ceramic Ring Command Bezel

The Ring Command bezel turns to set and synchronize the programmable regatta countdown, which makes the bezel a functional control rather than a fixed decorative ring. The bezel insert uses blue Cerachrom ceramic, a hard, scratch-resistant material that holds its color and finish over years of wear. This super clone follows the genuine 116688 Ring Command system with a rotatable bezel that interacts with the movement to start the countdown sequence and lock the timer setting.

Sapphire Crystal and Caseback

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating covers the white dial and gives a clear, glare-free read of the regatta countdown. The crystal sits flush within the polished yellow gold case for a clean profile. The solid screw-down caseback seals the Caliber 4161 clone movement and supports the 100-meter water resistance rating of the Yacht-Master II.

White Dial with Regatta Countdown Display

The white dial of this Yacht-Master II 116688 super clone carries a clean lacquered surface that frames the regatta countdown and pairs cleanly with the blue Cerachrom bezel. The applied hour markers and the central hands follow the genuine 116688 layout, and this super clone matches their size, placement, and polished borders. The countdown display uses a red triangle and a rotating disc that track the minutes remaining before a race start.

Programmable Countdown Timer with Mechanical Memory

The Yacht-Master II 116688 carries a programmable countdown timer that runs from 1 to 10 minutes, set through the Ring Command bezel. The mechanical memory stores the chosen countdown duration, which lets the wearer reset the timer to the same value without setting it again before each race start. The countdown sequence aligns the watch with the official starting signals of a yacht race, the core function that defines the Yacht-Master II.

Logo, Text and Hands

The applied Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock, with "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II" printed across the white dial in fine text. The Chromalight-filled hands and applied markers glow blue in low light for legibility on the water. The white dial, the blue Cerachrom bezel, and the yellow gold case give the 116688 the bright nautical contrast that defines the gold Yacht-Master II.

Swiss-Grade Caliber 4161 Clone Movement

The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic movement engineered to match the genuine Rolex Caliber 4161 in feel, frequency, and function. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, winds bidirectionally through a free-rotating rotor, and holds a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The Caliber 4161 clone drives the central hours, minutes, seconds, and the programmable regatta countdown.

Accuracy and Regatta Performance

Daily deviation holds within -5 to +8 seconds per day after factory regulation, close to the chronometer standard of the genuine Caliber 4161. The countdown timer starts, stops, and synchronizes through the Ring Command bezel and the pushers, matching the regatta function of the authentic reference. The 100-meter water resistance and the screw-down Triplock crown let the 116688 super clone hold its seal through sailing, swimming, and daily wear.

Yellow Gold Oyster Bracelet and Oysterlock Clasp

The Yacht-Master II 116688 super clone carries the 18-karat yellow gold Oyster bracelet, the three-piece-link design Rolex pairs with the gold Yacht-Master II. The bracelet uses brushed outer links and polished center links, tapering smoothly from the lugs toward the wrist. A folding Oysterlock safety clasp prevents accidental opening and closes flush against the wrist. The Yacht-Master II uses the Oyster bracelet, and never a President bracelet.

Easylink Extension, Wrist Feel and Comfort

The watch carries the substantial wrist presence buyers expect from a 44mm yellow gold regatta chronograph. The Rolex Easylink extension inside the clasp adjusts the bracelet length by 5mm for a quick comfort fit as the wrist changes through the day. The 44mm case and solid three-link gold bracelet suit wrists from 7 to 8.5 inches.

Yacht-Master II 116688 vs 116681 vs 116680 - Which Regatta Chronograph to Buy

The Rolex Yacht-Master II line offers three headline references across material, and the 116688 holds the 18-karat yellow gold regatta chronograph. The comparison of the three Yacht-Master II references is listed below.

Variant Case Material Caliber Super Clone Price
Yacht-Master II 116688 (this reference) 18k yellow gold Caliber 4161 $1,599
Yacht-Master II 116681 Steel and Everose gold Caliber 4161 $1,599
Yacht-Master II 116680 Oystersteel Caliber 4161 $1,549

Buyers select the Yacht-Master II 116688 for the full 18-karat yellow gold case and bracelet and the bright blue Cerachrom contrast. The 116681 buyer prefers the two-tone steel and Everose gold combination with a lower entry point than full gold. The 116680 buyer chooses the all-steel case for a lighter watch and the most accessible price in the line. The Yacht-Master II 116688 Super Clone gives the warm yellow gold regatta look with the programmable countdown and the Ring Command bezel.

Heritage - The Rolex Yacht-Master II Since 2007

The Rolex Yacht-Master II launched in 2007 as the first wristwatch with a programmable countdown timer and a mechanical memory built for yacht racing. Rolex designed the model around the Ring Command bezel, a rotatable bezel that interacts with the movement to set and synchronize the regatta countdown rather than acting as a fixed ring. The countdown runs from 1 to 10 minutes and aligns the watch with the official starting sequence of a sailing race. Rolex offered the Yacht-Master II across steel, two-tone steel and Everose gold, white gold, and the 18-karat yellow gold reference 116688. The Caliber 4161 powers the regatta chronograph and remains an in-house self-winding movement developed specifically for the Yacht-Master II. The Yacht-Master II 116688 Super Clone carries that regatta heritage and the yellow gold design onto the wrist.

The yellow gold tone and blue bezel look right together

"I wanted the full gold Yacht-Master II over a two-tone version, and the yellow gold case has the correct warm color with a deep polished shine. The blue Cerachrom bezel contrasts with the white dial exactly as it should. At $1,599 it carries the weight and presence of the genuine on the wrist."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Every question below is answered with direct context covering super clone basics, quality, choosing the right reference, and orders & support.

Is the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 a 1:1 super clone?+

Yes, the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone that matches the genuine Rolex reference at 98% visual and dimensional accuracy. The build matches the blue Cerachrom Ring Command bezel, the white dial, the regatta countdown layout, the screw-down Triplock crown, and the yellow gold Oyster bracelet geometry within tight tolerance. The price of $1,599 compares to a genuine retail figure near $51,000.

How does the regatta countdown timer work on the 116688?+

The regatta countdown timer on the 116688 works through the Ring Command bezel and a programmable display set from 1 to 10 minutes. The wearer rotates the Ring Command bezel to set the countdown, and a mechanical memory stores the chosen duration for repeat use before each race start. The countdown aligns the watch with the official starting sequence of a yacht race, which is the core function of the Yacht-Master II.

Is the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 a deep-sea dive watch?+

No, the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 is not a deep-sea dive watch, since Rolex designed it as a sailing regatta chronograph with water resistance to 100 meters. The Ring Command bezel and the countdown timer suit yacht racing rather than decompression timing at depth. Buyers who want a dedicated deep-sea instrument should look at the Rolex Sea-Dweller or Deepsea instead, while the Yacht-Master II covers sailing, racing, and daily wear.

What case material does the Yacht-Master II 116688 use?+

The Yacht-Master II 116688 uses an 18-karat yellow gold case and bracelet, which sets it apart from the steel 116680 and the two-tone 116681. Rolex builds the 116688 case in solid yellow gold for a warm tone, a substantial weight, and lasting corrosion resistance. This super clone matches the gold tone and the 44mm case proportions of the genuine reference.

How is the watch shipped internationally?+

The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance and tracked, signature-required delivery.

Performance matches the genuine caliber on frequency and function, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a working countdown timer.

What is the price difference vs the authentic Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688?+

The authentic Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 retails near $51,000, since Rolex builds the reference in solid 18-karat yellow gold. This super clone sells for $1,599, which delivers 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 3% of the genuine retail price. Buyers receive the full yellow gold regatta chronograph wrist presence without the capital commitment.
