In June 2024, Clean Factory embarked on a groundbreaking journey, purchasing the Rolex Yacht-Master 226627 for development. After nearly a year of dedicated effort, they have successfully crafted a replica using Grade 5 titanium, a material widely recognized for its application in aerospace and medical industries. This makes Clean Factory’s version not only unique but also significantly robust, following Rolex’s tradition of exceeding performance expectations.

The Yacht-Master is often considered a less popular model, yet Clean Factory has spared no effort in perfecting the titanium craftsmanship. Their attention to detail aligns with their meticulous watchmaking philosophy. The weight of the replica watch’s head matches the genuine product precisely at 57 grams, with the bracelet weighing around 52 grams, just slightly heavier due to protective film, compared to the authentic version’s 49 grams.

Addressing potential concerns with the original Rolex clasp, Clean Factory has reinforced their version to mitigate any risks of detachment. This enhancement showcases their commitment to durability and quality, even though the weight difference is negligible to the wearer’s wrist.

The brushed finishing on both the case and bracelet is almost indistinguishable from the original, alongside meticulously crafted ceramic bezels, dial, and hands, affirming Clean Factory’s excellence in replicating the Yacht-Master design, already a leader in the industry.

Though the cost of materials has resulted in a slight increase in price, given the complexity of working with Grade 5 titanium, Clean Factory believes that enthusiasts will appreciate their dedication to precision and quality. Their approach to watchmaking remains stringent, hoping to gain recognition and approval from watch aficionados worldwide.
