Rolex has just released a brand new link collection called the Perpetual Collection. And link the first official watch in the lineup – the 1908 – was link just released this morning. The name references the date the 'Rolex' trademark was officially registered in Switzerland.

For me, the new Yacht-Master 42, despite adding a bunch of new options to the mix, is the purest expression of the model yet. The white gold case is luxe and hefty while still giving off the appearance of being a hearty tool watch, the matte black bezel is straight-up mean looking, and the Oysterflex bracelet is practical and casual. This is a watch for someone who wants to look low-key link but likes things just so. And I can squarely get behind that.
