Audemars Piguet replica watch has launched some great images of the new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Tourbillon Chronograph Watch which will be officially unveiled at the upcoming Watches & Wonders exhibition in Hong Kong. This new model combines an unusual chronograph-tourbillon mechanism crafted from Renaud & Papi which has a carbon composite case.
This fake watch is a member of the iconic Royal Oak Offshore luxury sports watch collection by Audemars Piguet. It is a supersized successor of the original Royal Oak from 1972. The Royal Oak Offshore is born 21 years later, in 1993, followed by its many versions and special limited editions acquired some of a cult among Audemars Piguet fans. This year’s novelty boasts recognizable Royal Oak Offshore strongbox case, octagonal bezel and “Tapisserie” pattern.
The Selfwinding Tourbillon Chronograph is manufactured with the latest Caliber 2897 automatic mechanical movement which has been specially made for this model. The exceptional self-winding movement characterized a tourbillion and a column-wheel chronograph and has the beating rate of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour (3Hz).
Thanks to a peripheral oscillating weight mounted on ball bearings, the automatic winding is achieved a lot. A striking tourbillion complication can be seen through a cut-out on the dial side at the 6 o’clock position.
The movement consists of 335 individual parts, each beveled, polished, chamfered and decorated entirely by hand. All movement parts are well decorated and boast the high level of finish expected from replica watches for men. The movement provides at least 65 hours of power reserve.
The exquiste mechanism is housed in a forged carbon case, with black ceramic bezel, crown, and push pieces, as well as titanium push-piece guards. Its sturdy case measures 44mm in diameter and 14mm in thickness.
A dark-colored dial features a signature Audemars Piguet’s “Mega Tapisserie” motif and offers a high level of legibility. Apart from a tourbillon aperture, there is also a small seconds counter at the 9 o’clock position, and a 30-minute chrono counter which is placed at the 3 o’clock position.
A modern, sleek black look of the new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Tourbillon is complemented with a black rubber strap, ending with a titanium pin buckle. The Watches & Wonders exhibition is held by the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) and stands for the most significant event of this kind in Asia. This year, the invite-only event for thousands of collectors and fine watchmaking admirers will be held for the second time soon.
