Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph „The Beast“
Housing & ergonomics
The Reference 25721TI.OO.1000TI.02 represents a significant evolutionary stage of the original Offshore. Made from lightweight but extremely durable Titanium, This model breaks with the massive heaviness of its steel predecessor („The Beast“) without losing its visual dominance. The case diameter of 42 mm is visually enlarged by the striking height and the crown guard. The characteristic octagonal bezel, fixed by eight visible hexagonal screws in white gold, sits on a solid gasket that is visibly positioned between the case and bezel. The integrated titanium strap with folding clasp guarantees excellent balance on the wrist despite the dimensions of the timepiece.
Caliber & Precision
Inside the antimagnetically shielded housing, the Caliber 2226/2840. This is a modular movement based on a Jaeger-LeCoultre base caliber, which has been married to a chronograph module from Dubois Dépraz. The balance oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Particular attention is paid to the Rubber coating of the crown and the chronograph pushers - a technical detail that optimizes grip and feel and is considered a significant feature of the early Offshore generations.
Aesthetics & details
The dial is kept in a dark blue and is decorated with the fine Petite tapestry-pattern, which collectors today often prefer to the later introduced Méga tapestry. The sub-dials for the chronograph functions and the small seconds are discreetly contrasting in color. An internal Tachymeter scale on the rehaut underlines the sporty claim. The luminous indices and hands in Royal Oak design ensure legibility in all lighting conditions. A magnifying glass above the date at the 3 o'clock position, which, unlike the classic Royal Oak, is located under the sapphire crystal, rounds off the functional design.
