Rolex Yacht-Master rubber straps

Rolex sells the Yacht-Master 40 two ways: the gold Everose 116655 and 126655 on its Oysterflex, and the rest of the 40mm range, in steel, Rolesium, Everose Rolesor or gold, on an Oyster bracelet. There are straps here for both.

The 40mm references on Oyster bracelet

The 16622, 16623 and 16628, the 116621 and 116622, and the current 126621 and 126622 all have 20mm lugs and take the curved-end and FKM straps below. The Yacht-Master 37, the 42 and the Yacht-Master II are other sizes, so if yours is one of those, get in touch before you order.

Buckle or the original clasp

None of these bracelets uses the Glidelock, so you can keep the Rolex clasp or swap it for a buckle.

• Curved-end rubber with buckle. Curved at the ends to sit against the case and closed with a steel buckle, silver or black. Twenty-plus colors at €76.50, from a plain black to camo; on the 126622, a blue strap picks up its bright blue dial.
• FKM Vulcanized on your Rolex clasp. A denser rubber that lasts longer than the curved-end, and it reuses the clasp from your Oyster bracelet. Ten colors from €140.

Getting the bracelet off takes a spring bar tool (€20); replacement 20mm Swiss Made Spring Bars cost €12 per pair.

The 116655 and 126655 on Oysterflex

The Everose Yacht-Master 40 uses the same Oysterflex as the gold Daytona 116515LN, 116518LN and 116519LN, so our FKM replacements for that Oysterflex fit it as well. They come in black, white, grey and brown at €150, sized with the letters Rolex stamps inside the original (ED, EE and EF) and mounted with standard spring bars. The full range is on Rolex Daytona Oysterflex straps.

Leather on the Yacht-Master 40

The universal 20mm leather straps fit the bracelet references too: suede, Epsom or smooth leather, €90 each, on Rolex leather straps. Other Rolex models are under Rolex straps.
