In June 2024, Clean Factory unveiled a remarkable achievement in the world of watch replicas: the meticulously crafted 226627 Titanium Yacht-Master. This titanium alloy marvel boasts the use of grade 5 titanium, a material known for its widespread application in aerospace and medical fields, making it an exceptional choice for a Rolex replica.
Rolex has always been known for pushing the boundaries of material choice, opting for 904L stainless steel when others settle for 316. Clean Factory follows suit by utilizing the same grade 5 titanium, ensuring authenticity that can be verified through spectrographic analysis and evident through its distinctive color.
Despite the Yacht-Master not being the most popular Rolex design, Clean Factory’s dedication to perfection shines through in their craftsmanship. The titanium alloy work on the watch is impeccably executed, reflecting Clean Factory’s unwavering commitment to quality. The weight of the watch head matches the authentic model at 57 grams, while the bracelet is marginally heavier at 52 grams, due to protective film application.
Moreover, Clean Factory has reinforced the clasp’s weld points to mitigate any risk of detachment, a drawback found in the original Rolex design. The weight discrepancy between the authentic and replica models is negligible, ensuring a seamless wearing experience.
The brushed finish of the case and bracelet mirrors the authentic piece, and the ceramic bezel, dial, and hands are crafted to precise standards. The attention to detail in these elements solidifies Clean Factory’s position as a leader in the industry.
The increase in material costs and the complexities involved in processing grade 5 titanium are reflected in the price, albeit at a modest increase. Despite this, Clean Factory’s dedication to precision and quality remains unwavering and hopes that watch enthusiasts will appreciate and recognize their meticulous approach to watchmaking.
