Monopole, a long-time collector, shares his initial impressions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420IO. This article explores why this particular 43mm model, featuring the integrated chronograph movement, finally compelled him to add an Offshore to his collection after years of preferring smaller Royal Oaks. His detailed photographs highlight key design elements, inviting the community to delve into the nuances of this contemporary reference.
Congratulations. If I were to get an ROO it would definitely be one with a ceramic bezel. All the best Jon
I have the 44mm in this color way and wonder whether iād prefer the 43mm if i had to make choice. I particularly like mine on the deep blue strap that matches the subdials.
Is the bezel actually textured with a diamond lathe or polished and if so with what? Ceramic because of its extreme hardness is very difficult to work with. Omega actually uses a diamond lathe to texture their cases but if this bezel is polished the results are excellent as well!
It comes with an extra set of blue straps; will try it on tomorrow. You are right. The blue accent will work well with blue straps.
Will definitely research into it; only noticed it when I came home and had more time to scrutinise the watch š. It adds a level of detail which I find captivating.
The cases always look like plastic because there is no texturing at all.
