Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Watch In Black Ceramic

For the development of watchmaking, now we can find more high-tech materials are used in this area, like the ceramic. These years, the ceramic seems to be very popular in watchmaking industry.

Speaking of the ceramic, I’m keen on the black ceramic watches very much. I love the cool black color. When the cool black color is mixed with this high-tech material, I think it must be very cool. One of my favorite black ceramic watches is the black version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ceramic watch.



This watch combines the modern high-tech material black ceramic with the classic design. It was impressive when it first launched. The case of this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ceramic watch is in a middle size arriving at 42mm wide.

The movement of this watch is AP’s in-house made caliber 3120. With 40 jewels and 280 components, it features a 60 hour power reserve. It runs at 3 Hz (=21'600 alternances/hour), that is most likely the only real complaint I've as 4Hz is really a more contemporary frequency. The 22k rose gold rotor, is wonderfully engraved. The contrast between “hard” and “soft” has this type of visual impact.



The strap and case are moderate, and black, developing a natural design which jogs my memory of why I fell deeply in love with the Royal Oak thirty-six years back. Except for the Steel ref. 15400, which attempts to be near to the original “Jumbo” as you possibly can, this watch may be the purest, most monochromatic watch, for me. 



Initially, you just visit a black case, eight screws, two strap anchors on top and bottom from the case where it connects the strap. Bold whitened numbers pop out of the flange ring, there is a beautiful orange line from 12:00 to 3:00, and something beautiful orange-and-whitened minute hand. Upon closer inspection, the many other magnificent particulars reveal themselves, such as the Mega Tapisserie patterned dial, the titanium case back and buckle, the white gold applied markers, with brilliant whitened luminescent coating, the rotating inner bezel ring, and the many other subtle elements of design. 



Water proofing is 300 meters, because this is a real diver watch. The piece is “boutique only” and also the retail cost is $23,600.
