Audemars Piguet Unveils Forged Carbon Royal Oak Concept Split Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date

 

As the atmosphere builds for the 2024 Singapore Airlines Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend, watch enthusiasts and journalists are also taking in the excitement of the event with the latest launch from Audemars Piguet (AP).

The Swiss luxury watchmaker unveiled the 43mm Royal Oak Concept Split Seconds Chronograph GMT Big Date at its global launch event on the Little Red Dot on September 20 at Monti Italian Restaurant. replica luxury watches

The new model marks the return of forged carbon fiber, now using the brand’s cutting-edge Chroma Forging Technology (CFT). Known for its light weight, strength and durability, forged carbon fiber is created by mixing carbon fiber strands with resin and heating them under pressure.

AP first introduced this innovative technology in 2007, creating the world’s first forged carbon watch to celebrate its sponsorship of the Swiss team at the America’s Cup. replica Zenith Watch

Developed over a five-year period in the luxury watchmaker’s R&D workshop, CFT introduces a groundbreaking method that allows the coloring of the carbon fiber itself, rather than just the resin that binds it.

This means not only exciting design possibilities, but also unprecedented durability. Thanks to the lower resin content, the new carbon fiber is resistant to heat, humidity, shock and even scratches. Watch lovers can look forward to not only a more durable watch on their wrist, but also a more unique one, as each case middle is handcrafted to create a one-of-a-kind pattern. best replica watch

The case center is adorned with electric blue luminous pigment that glows in the dark. Paired with a black ceramic bezel, crown and pushers, this watch exudes a futuristic vibe.

A blue rubber strap with black accents completes the look. Thanks to the interchangeable system, you can easily swap in a second black and blue strap, making this watch even more versatile.

At the heart of this Royal Oak Concept is the Calibre 4407, which combines a flyback chronograph, split-seconds function, GMT and a large date display. The flyback function allows the user to reset and restart the chronograph with a single press, while the split-seconds mechanism allows them to measure intermediate time intervals. replica Franck Muller Vanguard

Keeping track of a second time zone is also a breeze thanks to the GMT function.

Meanwhile, the skeletonized dial is also striking, with circular cutouts in the black PVD-coated nickel silver plate that offer a glimpse of the movement underneath. PVD refers to physical vapor deposition, a technique that deposits thin films onto various surfaces one atom (or one molecule) at a time.

The electric blue hue contrasts sharply with the black and grey, enhancing both readability and the watch’s bold, avant-garde style. Jacob & Co Bugatti Tourbillon
