Audemars Piguet Launches Two Royal Oak Offshore Black Ceramic Watches

Among the many new watches launched by Audemars Piguet today are two Royal Oak Offshore chronographs made of black ceramic. Given that 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the ultra-bold and modern Royal Oak Offshore, it's almost guaranteed that we'll see at least a couple of new Offshore models this year, and two new models have joined the lineup. Since the Offshore itself is essentially just a variation on the original Royal Oak design, it's sometimes easy to forget just how diverse the AP Offshore collection is compared to the standard Royal Oak collection. Although both are AP Royal Oak Offshore watches with black ceramic cases and flyback chronograph movements, in reality everything else about the two new watches is different, and they ultimately represent two very different products.

The first of two new Offshore black ceramic models replica luxury watches is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph 42 mm (ref. 26238CE.OO.1300CE.01), which follows the The original shape, with a diameter of 42 mm in black ceramic case diameter minus 15.3 mm thick. The case, bezel, crown, and chronograph pushers are all made of brushed and polished black ceramic, and the exterior is largely monochrome, with the only contrasting elements being the eight exposed white gold screws running through the case and bezel. A sapphire crystal is set on the dial and titanium caseback, while the crown screwed into the case contributes to the 100-meter water resistance. While AP has previously created black ceramic versions of the Offshore, the new Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph 42mm is the first time a model in the Offshore line has a matching ceramic bracelet. The bracelet follows the exact same design as the rest of the Offshore collection (as you'd expect), except that it's now made of black ceramic and has a titanium deployant clasp.

In keeping with the mostly all-black look of the case is a matte black 'Petite Tapisserie' dial with three registers, applied luminescent hour markers and Offshore's signature circular date window at 3 o'clock. In addition to the white dial printing, the chronograph hands are also treated in white for added contrast, while the branding appears next to the date window as a polished applied element. Inside, you'll find the same movement in the other Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph 42mm watches, the Audemars Piguet Caliber 4404. Running at 28,800vph (4 Hz) with an approximate power reserve of 70 hours, the California 4404 is a column-wheel controlled integrated chronograph movement that offers a flyback function and is automatically wound by a solid 22k rose gold oscillating weight. While the core aesthetic and functionality of this new watch is very familiar, the real news is that you can now get the Royal Oak Offshore with an all-ceramic bracelet, which was previously only available in the classic Royal Oak range.cheap replica watches

Another new black ceramic chronograph joining the Offshore collection is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43mm (ref. 26420CE.OO.A127CR.01), which features a two-tone overall aesthetic in yellow gold. While the new ceramic bracelet models follow the shape of the original Offshore models, this new black ceramic and gold model features a more modern Offshore layout with a slightly larger and more imposing case, measuring 43 mm in diameter, crown and The crown is thicker and the chronograph pushers. Also, instead of the small round pushers of the classic Offshore model, the more modern 43mm version features steeply angled oval pushers, which end up creating noticeably more visual impact on the 3 o'clock side of the case. Black ceramic is used for the case middle, bezel, winding crown and chronograph pushers, while the case back, crown guard and strap inserts are made of yellow gold. Additionally, the watch includes two strap options (one in black alligator leather and the other in black rubber) with a quick-change system that allows users to easily change between the two without using any tools.

Like the case of the best replica watches, the dial of the new 43 mm black ceramic and yellow gold Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph has a similar color scheme, with a black "Méga Tapisserie" pattern, gold hour markers and a central Black lacquered stripes. Gold is also used for the hands, minute track and outline of the three chronograph registers, while a date window appears where it would normally be at the 4:30 position. A black tachymeter scale is positioned on the edge of the dial, beneath the crystal, and the gold hour and minute hands have a black lacquered center bar that complements the hour markers. Inside, the new black ceramic and gold Royal Oak Offshore is powered by the same Caliber 4401 movement as other Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph 43mm watches currently in production. Cal. Integrated automatic chronograph movement operated by column wheel with flyback function. The 4401 operates at 28,800vph (4 Hz), giving the user a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This means that AP's two new black ceramic Offshore models will perform identically, even though they use different movements.

As a more modern and extroverted version of the classic Royal Oak, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore has been experimenting with different case materials, and the innate modernity of ceramics seems to be particularly suitable for the Offshore series. The black ceramic models from the classic Royal Oak collection are hugely popular, so it makes sense that Audemars Piguet would eventually want to expand this fan-favorite style into the Offshore collection.

Aside from the fact that both use a ceramic case, one has solid gold components, while the other has an all-ceramic integrated bracelet, a first for Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore collection.replica Zenith Chronomaster Sport
