Talk about an evolution.  Absolutely perfect.  For years I have hoped for a non-numerals, non-LE Offshore update and here it is!  These new watches will be a staple of the brand for years to come.

For years I have wished for such an update to the ROO. I never understood why they didnt if they knew pieces like the RBII, GP, JPM and Alinghi had been so popular mainly because of there distinctive design elements. I think for many the RBII was the best looking ROO made to date, and IMO they took the best design details of that watch and added them to the new ROO. It makes me wonder what direction they will take with next years LEs LOL.

The new details are fantastic.

Michael,

I agree with you.  AP is wise to release the new architecture in three handsome permutations.

I'm also favorably impressed that there were fewer leaks of information about the new models than there have been in recent years.

In a thread below there seems to be some confusion about size, but it is my impression that the three new models are similar in case size to the standard Offshore, while only the Legacy is of the larger size.

I believe these will be of similar dimensions to the current standard Offshore, why the Legacy is indeed in a large case.  I am happy to see the Legacy is executed in a classy manner, but I cannot say I prefer it to the new regular collection.

AP has created some tour de force, upper end masterpieces in recent years, but this evolved Offshore will carry the brand for years to come.  Sliced bread can move over, it has company...

Been waiting for the offshores to evolve and I think AP nailed it with these new models.

Both the white and black dial pieces are wonderfully executed.

outstanding...love the new pushers too.

I love the rose gold ROO. The combination of the best elements of the RB2 and other ROO's is fabulous.
I am somewhat surprised to see nothing new for the RO line.

Great direction.
