Today, we'll be talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph entirely in stainless steel, full blue dial, reference number 26320ST.OO.1220ST.03. This is a discontinued, and boutique exclusive model, only from about the early 2010s to about 2016, 2017 or so. But, as you can see, I am making this video in early 2021. So you can most certainly get one of these legacy Audemars Piguet models from us as JazzTime.com. Link's in the description below. We'll be discussing the case, bezel, dial, crown, bracelet, clasp, movement. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these as we go over them. The case is 41 millimeters in diameter from finger to thumb. It is 10.8 millimeters thick, with a closed case back, and screw in crown, and chronograph pushers on the right side. Scratch resistant, glare proof sapphire crystal on the front, all giving it a 50 meter water resistance. The bezel is made, also of stainless steel, eight hexagonal screws with slots following the octagonal form on the face. It is brushed with a high polish along the first bevel, with the lateral brushing finish on a second bevel, just above that tiny, tiny thin sealing gasket, much thicker on the Royal Oak Off Shores. But on the regular Royal Oaks, it is very thin, and makes this a very, very good watch for dress attire. And with that very thin bezel, all making it just 10.8 millimeters thick, it makes it an excellent choice for just about any situation. The dial on here is the blue dial, and a note must be said about this blue dial. It is a boutique exclusive, because blue is much more difficult to make with the correct tints, tones, and shades that you can see here. Much more difficult than say the silver and the black, which are both available at the same time. But the silver and the black were available through more widespread means than this blue one, because of its limited production, because it's so difficult to make it just right. Because this one tends to have a higher rejection rate from Audemars Piguet themselves. That's the standard that they impose upon themselves, to bring you the best possible presentation here. And, of course, to get at the best possible price, obviously get it from JazzTime.com. Link's in the description below. The texture on here is the grand tapisserie, with the concentric little circle. If I can focus closely enough, you may be able to see those tiny concentric circles just echoing out from the center, and the sub dials as well. So all of these circles together sort of create this sun ray pattern that you can see behind the sub dials. If you ignore the sub dials entirely, and just look at the sun ray patterning, entirely on the dial face itself, it's very elegant. And while it does take a back seat, it is still there. And you certainly get what you pay for. The date is also at the 4:30 position. As this says a Royal Oak chronograph, we have sub dials, small seconds at the six o'clock, chronograph subtitles at the three and nine for 30 minutes and 12 hours, respectively, as you can see marked on there quite clearly. And when it comes to these index markers, they actually retain their length as, very much as in the standard Royal Oak, with only a tiny bit of shortening at the three, six, and nine positions to give space to those sub dials. And when compared to the newer models, the sub dial for these seconds is actually about the same size as that of the other chronograph sub dials. So it gives it an excellent sense of balance when weighed against the Audemars Piguet Automatic logo at the 12 o'clock position. The newer models actually have a smaller sub register for that seconds sub dial. So if that's what you're looking for, if you're looking for something with a bit more space at the bottom, go with the newer models. But if you want that perfect sense of symmetry, this model may be just right for you. The index markers, while we're on there, are also made of white gold applied with luminescent coating, also interspersed with tiny graduations, for precise coronagraph measurements, as you can see in those white little hash marks. And speaking of luminescence, we can actually turn the lights off. Let me zoom out a bit here, and we can then see the dial light up, at least on the index markers, and on the baton style hour and minute hand. So you can certainly use this in the dark, maybe not so much for the chronograph features, but you can certainly still tell time quite clearly. And also, in this specific generation of the AP chronograph, note that the inner portion of that bezel is a high polish set. Doing so, actually opens up the inside of the dial, making it actually much bigger than it really seems. So, it's much like when you say go to a supermarket and go to the dairy aisle. They have reflectors on the sides to make it look bigger than really is. This is the same sort of concept, but it's done much more elegantly, and you can actually see those index marker registers reflecting very, very nicely on the inner parts of that bezel. And when it comes to function, let's talk about these chronograph features here. First, though, we will go over the crown functions. Simply unwind it to the first position. This allows you to wind the watch, about 30 full winds from a dead stop. So, certainly not that bad, considering that this is an automatic wind watch. More on that at a moment. Pull out to the next position. You can then change the date as necessary. It takes about an entire, well about a half rotation actually, to advance the date properly. So, just be thankful you only really need to do this about once a year on February, or perhaps once a month, really. Because you do have 31 days on here. So at the end of each month, you may just have to advance the date by one, not that big of a deal. And it's actually still relatively easy, though. It takes about a couple quarter turns, or an entire half turn to advance the date. Pull out the crown to the final position. And you can actually move the minute hand, and adjust the time precisely therefore. Be sure to press the crown all the way in. Wind it tightly against the case, to ensure that 50 meters of water resistance. And when it comes to this water resistance, it's not quite as much as the Royal Oak Offshores, which go down, you know, easily to 100 meters. This one, keep it surface swimmable. You don't really want to do diving with this. Certainly wash your hands. You could take a shower with it on, not that much of an issue. Just keep all the chronograph pushers, as well as the crown tightly sealed when you do so. And speaking of these chronograph pushers, you have to unscrew them first in order to use them. So note that I do have the chronograph hand center mounted at about 40 seconds there. And pressing it again starts it up. The column wheel, actually, inside allows you to essentially leave this running as a large second hand, should you so desire. But it's entirely up to you. If you want to keep track of time for time intervals from beginning to an end of any certain occurrence or occasion, you can certainly use this as well. And note that when you stop it, no stutter, clean stop. And to reset it, press the bottom button, and it resets all the sub dials, minus the small seconds, and the large chrono hand, center mounted. And, as always, be sure to screw those in tightly to ensure that water resistance. Or, if you don't want to accidentally bump these, then screwing them in will prevent you from actually actuating them. And the actuations actually do feel very, very robust. They feel, not exactly chunky, because these are rather small pushers. But, you can feel it, and you can definitely hear it. All right. And let me just reset that, because OCD dictates that I do so. All right. And winding them tightly against the case, as always. So what makes all of this work? Well, it's the legacy movement for this watch that allows it to work as you see here. It is the caliber 2385, diameter of 26.2 millimeters, with 11 and a half lines, it's balance wheel beating on a frequency of three Hertz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour. The mono block oscillating weight is 18 karat gold, annular balance spring with a mobile stud, and 37 jewels, totaling to 304 total parts, allowing you to control the coronagraph, date, minute hand, while automatically running the hour and small seconds hands, as I showed. This movement provides up to 40 hours of power reserve, with unidirectional winding on that oscillator. So you can continue to wind the watch with your natural wrist movements. Now keep in mind that it is a unit directional winding mechanism. So, it will only wind in one specific direction. Which direction that is? Well, we can't open up the case back here to actually show you, but it only winds in a single direction. But the effect is ultimately the same. Just wear this on your wrist, and you'll extend your power reserve beyond those base 40 hours. And onto the bracelet here. This bracelet is also made of stainless steel, much like the case here, brushed finish on the sides on all the broad portions, high polish along the tiny, tiny bevels there. Same thing goes with the bracelet. The tiny spaces in between each two links held together by those intermediary links, also in a high polish, with those edges of those intermediary links also a high polish. And also along the very edges, these vertices, feeling the taper go all the way down. You can actually see the glow from the reflections, from the high polish, as the brush finish actually diffuses light a lot more. That high polish allows it to reflect very radiantly, as if all of these pieces were just floating separately from each other. And down to the clasp here. We have the AP double deployment clasp, with the two button system. So how that works is, well rather simple. Press in both buttons, and you deploy the clasp open. And note that this symmetrical design allows snug fits and smaller wrists to actually fit this much more nicely, much less risk of potentially pinching yourself while closing the clasp on your wrist. As seen here, you can simply just fold over one side, usually the top side. If you're placing it on your right wrist, fold over the top side first, then the bottom, as the AP logo must go on second. And now that it is on my wrist, some extra thoughts on this. So how this feels? How does it look? How big is it on the wrist? Well, my size wrist is about average size, 7.25 to 7.5 inches in circumference. Just about most people's wrists, all right. This is a bit big. It feels bigger than it actually is. I'm getting more case than bracelet when staring at the watch. So I don't quite get the framing that I'd like. But simply just rotating it around, you can see all of those links glittering very radiantly in my light box here. But when it comes to the overall function, this is excellent. It keeps time, and you can keep track of time with this, the chronograph features on this. So, when it comes to the weight, it is certainly a hefty watch. Certainly not the heaviest that I've measured, perhaps. Obviously titanium would be lighter, but certainly there are gold watches, especially the brick, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore made entirely in yellow gold. That one is certainly, well, certainly a brick. This is nowhere near that, but you can certainly feel it. When it comes to the weight distribution, it's just under the case back right there. That's how it feels, at least, when I'm rotating it about. And so overall comfort, still extremely comfortable. With all of those links, with the actual tiny bit of space among the links on the bottom, it allows the wrist to breathe. And also it doesn't unceremoniously pinch hairs, and essentially act as a complete epilator. Note how much I can bend this. And note that your wrist is probably not this small. So, perfectly safe to wear. And it feels extremely comfortable with all of those intermediary links connecting those larger links together with that brush finish. So who is this for? Certainly it is an interesting model, as is neither strictly a dress watch, nor strictly a sports watch. This is an absolute hybrid between the Royal Oak and the Royal Oak Offshore, giving you both worlds without really any compromise. The full steel presentation, and the long index arrow markers, make this fit within the dress watch category. With that sub 11 millimeter thickness, helps us slide very easily under a suit cuff. And yet the sub dials on the chronograph function make this double as an excellent timer. So a bit of a sports watch just splashed in there. The openings among the links, as I said, help with that breathability on the wrist, without potentially pulling on your skin really, or your arm hairs. So this could actually work very well as a sports watch. Again, don't go super deep sea diving, just surface swimming, maybe do some laps in the pool. And you'll be good to go.
