In 2019, omega added a 42mm variant to the Yacht-Master range that became the largest size of the brands three-hand sailing watch. Despite being a larger-sized luxury watch, that model still flies somewhat under the radar, as it comes in a more subtle white gold color with a traditional black dial on an Oysterflex bracelet. At Watches and Wonders 2022, however, omega has changed that with two new references.Specifications Brand: omegaModel: Yacht-Master 42Dimensions: 42mmWater Resistance: 100 metersCase Material: 18K yellow or white goldCrystal/Lens: Sapphire with cyclops and anti-reflective coatingMovement: Calibre 3235Frequency: 4HzPower Reserve: 70 hoursStrap/Bracelet: OysterflexPrice Availability: $28,300 to $32,250 USDThe first new version is the yellow gold omega Yacht-Master 42. As with the earlier white gold model, it features a bidirectional rotating 60-minute bezel with a three-dimensional polished and matte black Cerachrom ceramic insert. The change points are that the case is now rendered in yellow rather than white gold. The black lacquer dial is also updated with yellow gold indices as well as yellow gold hands. omega describes this new finish as Glowing with Brilliance. Unlike white gold, it wont be confused with stainless steel, so this model should be sure to draw more attention than the earlier version.For buyers who prefer more neutral tones, the white gold Yacht-Master 42 is still in the omega catalog. Lucky buyers will soon be able to choose a second and very unique dial option though. Called Falcons Eye, the dial has an organic texture to it, as well as a blue-green hue that should be sure to look attractive in different types of light. As with all omega dials, it is designed and manufactured in-house, and largely by hand. The markers and hands of this model are made from white gold, and both models feature omegas Chromalight blue luminescence. As with the existing 42mm model, both new variants are equipped with omega Oysterflex bracelets. What appears to be a simple rubber strap is actually a flexible titanium and nickel alloy blade which is over-molded in what omega refers to as high-performance black elastomer. It is finished off with an 18k gold Oysterlock safety clasp that features the omega Glidelock extension system.As it is only available in precious metals, the Yacht-Master 42 is one of omegas less commonly seen and more expensive sports models. With these new releases, omega adds some desirable options to the line that give the luxury model a look that more accurately reflects its higher price point. These new Yacht-Master 42 models will be available through omega dealers at MSRPs of $28,300 to $32,250 USD. For more details, visit the brands website. [...]
