The 43 mm stainless steel Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph inaugurating a matching steel bezel with the crown and push-pieces in black ceramic.
Inspired by Habanos, this timepiece features a smoked bronze Méga Tapisserie dial whose darkened edges extend to the black inner bezel, where the tachymeter is printed in white. Similarly, the counters at 9, 6 and 3 o’clock echo the ceramic and inner bezel to enhance readability.
The dial is completed with luminescent trapezoidal hour-markers and hands in blackened gold. Fitted on a brown alligator strap with an Oxford hand-finished patina, this model is equipped with the interchangeability system and comes with an additional black rubber strap for a sporty aesthetic.
Finally, the timepiece beats to the rhythm of Calibre 4401, the Manufacture’s latest integrated chronograph. This movement features a column wheel with a vertical clutch system to activate, stop and reset the chronograph – a device renowned for its isochronism and its ability to reduce start-up jumps.
The result of hundreds of hours of work, Calibre 4401 offers a unique combination of complications for Audemars Piguet, which has paired a jumping hour with the flyback chronograph. The flyback system enables to take several new measurements in a row, swiftly and easily, by restarting the chronograph without interrupting or resetting it first.
