This replica Yacht-Master 116621 black dial pairs Oystersteel with Everose gold for a two-tone sport watch that reads warmer than a full-steel Submariner but sportier than a Day-Date. The 40mm case sits on a substantial Oyster bracelet with alternating polished and brushed links, and the bidirectional rotatable bezel in matte black Cerachrom ceramic gives the 116621 its signature look. Rolex introduced this two-tone Yacht-Master reference as a middle ground between the full-precious-metal models and the all-steel lineup, and the result is a watch that works equally well on a boat deck or at a dinner table.

The raised polished numerals on the ceramic bezel insert catch light at every angle. Unlike yacht master everose models with matching bezels, this version uses black ceramic against warm rose gold mid-links and crown for a more dramatic two-tone effect.

Caliber Breakdown

The automatic movement drives hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display at 3 o’clock with quickset adjustment. The rotor is bidirectional, winding efficiently regardless of wrist motion. The black dial on the 116621 uses applied hour markers in Everose gold rather than painted indices found on some other references, adding depth to the dial. For a different take on this reference, compare it against the chocolate dial version of the 116621, which swaps the black sunburst finish for a rich brown that picks up the Everose tones more directly. Both sit within the Yacht-Master lineup, but they project different personalities.

How It Compares

The 116621 occupies a specific niche: dressier than the Submariner, less formal than the Datejust, and more wrist-present than the 37mm Yacht-Master references. The Everose gold elements resist fading over time thanks to the proprietary alloy composition, and the black dial keeps legibility high in any lighting condition. If you want a two-tone sport watch that avoids the flashiness of full gold, this replica Yacht-Master 116621 black dial delivers that balance without compromise.
