Description
The APS Factory Royal Oak Offshore 26420 is a faithful recreation of one of Audemars Piguet’s most iconic modern sports chronographs. Combining the legendary octagonal bezel with the bold “Méga Tapisserie” dial, this piece is a true testament to APS Factory’s ability to blend luxury aesthetics with technical mastery.
*Key Features*:
– **Movement**: Powered by the APS-developed clone Calibre 4401 automatic chronograph, this watch delivers a seamless flyback chronograph function, central chronograph seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour subdials, along with a date window. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement is equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch system, ensuring precise timing and smooth chronograph operation. A 70-hour power reserve offers extended reliability. Every component is decorated with Geneva stripes, beveled edges, and perlage finishing, reinforcing APS’s commitment to detail.
– **Case**:The 42mm stainless steel case features a robust design while maintaining refined proportions. It is complemented by a black ceramic octagonal bezel, finished with vertical brushing and polished bevels. APS Factory employs advanced CNC machining to ensure the lugs, pushers, and crown guard integrate perfectly, replicating the authentic Offshore construction.
– **Dial**: The dial showcases the brand’s signature “Méga Tapisserie” textured pattern, carved with CNC precision for depth and dimensionality. The contrasting silver subdials provide clear readability, while luminescent hour markers and Royal Oak hands ensure visibility under all lighting conditions. The red-tipped chronograph hand adds a sporty touch, staying true to the original AP aesthetic.
– **Bezel**:Crafted from scratch-resistant black ceramic, the bezel is secured with eight hexagonal screws in perfect alignment, a hallmark of the Royal Oak Offshore. This combination of ceramic durability and meticulous screw orientation highlights the advanced finishing techniques of APS Factory.
– **Bracelet**: The integrated stainless steel bracelet alternates brushed and polished finishes, seamlessly flowing from the case for a cohesive design. Its ergonomic construction ensures comfort, while the folding clasp provides secure fastening.
– **Crystal**: Scratch-proof sapphire crystal with a colourless anti-reflective coating on both sides.
– **Functionality**: Beyond standard timekeeping, the chronograph complications operate with the same tactile precision as the original Audemars Piguet. The flyback feature allows instant reset and restart, catering to professionals who demand accuracy and efficiency.
– **Water Resistance**: Waterproof to 50 meters, this means it can withstand a certain depth of water pressure, making it suitable for swimming or snorkeling, but it is not appropriate for deep diving or high-pressure environments. Nevertheless, it is still recommended to avoid direct water contact or vigorous underwater activities to maintain the watch’s long-term durability and performance.
The APS Factory Audemars Piguet 26420 is not merely a replica but a super clone sports chronograph that fuses luxury finishing, robust mechanics, and functional excellence. This model captures the essence of the Offshore collection and proves why APS continues to lead in producing the finest Audemars Piguet clones available today.
