Today we'll be going over a Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet, a cell phone and chronograph reference number 26631ST.00.1220ST.01 Quite mouthful, I know, but we'll be getting into the whole unboxing first then I'll be giving you the review as well. All right so here we go. Opening up the box here. It has that typical wood grain pattern type of box there. And underneath we also have the, warranty card. All right, as you can see it comes with that with the near-field activation. All right. So quite useful there. We're gonna keep that in the box because what matters here is the watch itself and for most of us, that's usually what comes first. All right. So here's the watch. It has a blue dial entirely made of steel brushed and polished all right, with the steel bracelet all right. As is part of the unboxing, we'll be removing the plastic outer case here, gently, as well as I believe there's no backing on this one. Some general stickers here that actually help conceal and protect that brush finishing along with that, high polish in between, more on that in a moment. All right. And I believe that is about it for that okay. So, this is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph 41 millimeters actually let me put this away because I do need a little bit of space here. Don't wanna overcrowd myself. Okay, so I'll keep this off to one side, and there we go. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak coronagraph with a blue dial, Grande Tapisserie sort of textured patterning on the dial, entirely made in steel, brushed satin as well as high polished with the bracelet. So again, this case size is 41 millimeters from finger to thumb. This is not including the chronograph pusher all right. It is exactly 11 millimeters thick, so quite thin for coronagraph, a sports model. And it's also, I measured 51 millimeters lug to lug it in height. So it weighs a bit bigger than it really is but we'll be getting into the wearing experience a little bit later all right. We'll be talking about the case, the dial, the crown, the movement, as well as the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on those. All right so when it comes to the case, again sand brush finishing all along the face of the watch, as well as well underneath but in a concentric circle, sort of like a sandblasted texture for that Royal Oak, sort of logo right there, right in the center of the case back. All right, screw down case back with those round screws on the back and eight hexagonal screws on the front bezel. Also sand brush finishing also with that, sort of vertical look integrated with that overall set and brush finishing on the case as well. On the outsides sort of outlining both the bezel and the case itself you have along the edges, this really really nice high polish that goes all the way around the bezel, as well as along the sort of the vertices, the flanks of the case, with high polish chronograph pushers with sand brush finishing on the sort of a little guards or holders, all right. Taking a look at the dial now, we also have that dark blue Grande Tapisserie patterning with a gyosh shape patterning that allows for that sunray type of pattern lighting to show up. So it's a little bit more difficult to see with those chronograph dials in there with the small seconds, but it's there and it's certainly a sight to behold, right. And when it comes to looking at the overall presentation here, it looks potentially a little crowded that's because the two chronograph dials, the three o'clock and the nine o'clock the 30 minute and 12 hour respectively, take up quite a bit of real estate on this dial but they make sure that you can actually read them, right. And readability is all what it's about. There's also the hour markings also applied 18 carat white gold with a luminescence applied onto them. Those allow for additional readability in the dark. If I turn out the lights you can actually see how luminescence works. It also lights up the minute and the hour hand, very nicely. You can read all of the hours very easily there. Meanwhile, my camera is struggling to focus. It is rather dark in here, you can still read it quite easily. I'll turn the lights back on so my camera's not struggling so hard. And note that the index markers are actually a little bit shorter than you'd find on a typical Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that's because you need to have the sort of consistency of those hour marks going all the way around. You don't wanna cut off too much as they have done with the three and the nine. So, in order to keep, a relatively good framing of the hour marks along their track you've gotta extend them just a tiny bit more then say like the six o'clock, which is a bit longer than that of the three and the nine. And if you'll notice the small seconds at the six o'clock actually does have a smaller dial. So you have sort of like this bilateral symmetry when it comes to the horizontal weight, but when it comes to the vertical it feels a little bit wonky because of that slightly small seconds dial. But it's not too bad. It's a little bit hard to know as long as you don't notice it, as long as you don't think about it. I think we'll be good. And when it comes to the overall presentation here I do appreciate the silvery look to these dials against the dark blue backdrop. It makes it very easy to read and very distinctive as well. When you see this, you know it's a coronagraph a hundred percent there's no mistake about it. No watch out there has this many sub dials for absolutely no reason, maybe a moon phase, but you know you'd see the moon in them, but in these you see numbers, that they mean business and precision and precision is what this one's all about. At least when it comes to tracking time with the coronagraph. And when it comes to the functions, we'll also note that the crown works as you would expect, you unwind to the first position to allow you to wind the watch, only about 25 to 30 full winds is all you need to get it to the full power reserve, more on that in a second you pull out to the second position here. Pull out to the second position. You can rotate it clockwise and it's about a half turn to advance the date at the 4:30, or it's more like a 4:45 position that date aperture. Also with a dark blue background. So it integrates very nicely into that dial and it almost sort of falls to the wayside or sort of into the background. It's not too terribly noticeable so it doesn't really throw off the symmetry that symmetrical feel to the watch but it still is there for, the practical purpose of keeping track of the date. Very useful, but do keep in mind that if you find yourself at the end of the month and you need to advance it, you will have to throw that crown pretty far in order to advance the date by one. It takes about a half a turn again to advance it Pull out to the final position, and you'll note that the small seconds is actually still going. There's no hacking seconds here. But you can still move the minute hand for precise or slightly more precise timekeeping. Let's actually move that up to 10:10, because that looks pleasing, doesn't it? Press the crown all the way back in to ensure 50 meters of water resistance. Now keep in mind that this is a bit more of a sports watch but I would still keep it on the dressier side and certainly with that 50 meters water resistance, I wouldn't really take this more than surface swimmable at most. Don't go diving with this at all. If you wanna keep the integrity of this case intact and when it comes to the casing what's inside, what allows you to have all of this function it's the cell phone and caliber 2,385 made in-house by by Audemars Piguet. It has a 26.2 millimeter diameter or 11 and a half lines. You can't see through the case back unfortunately. It has a frequency of three Hertz or 21,600 vibrations per hour. That's not quite as high precision as say the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, also with a blue dial the newer version, but, it's still extremely accurate. And when it comes to using the chronograph, I can't really find anything to complain about it. It's a very solid start, very rigid finish. You can reset it back to zero no problem. No issues there. So the frequency of three heartz doesn't really affect it all that much in my eyes, the oscillator is a monoblock and 18 karat gold, unidirectional so, putting it on your wrist will wind it about half as much as a bi-directional winder but it will still get the job done. It has 37 jewels with a total number of 304 parts, a mobile stud with an annular balance spring. So it basically will, make sure to effectively reduce the impacts of shock resistance, or reduce the impacts of shock giving you shock resistance. I wouldn't take this mountain biking. I wouldn't, use a jack hammer on it. Certainly do not use a jackhammer on this watch. It's magnificent. So all the functions allow for that chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds and the date, the rapid setting of that date as well. So very useful movement in there. As I have just demonstrated. And when it comes to the bracelet, it's also a stainless steel bracelet also, brush set and brush finishing along the front as well as the side there. So you have that nice diffuse lighting with a high polish along the edges. They're sort of continuing from the case directly onto the corners of the bracelet there and in between links and on those in between portions of the intermediate links as well. So when you put this on, you get sort of that glowy feeling that they're almost modular in appearance but when it comes together, truly integrated. Kind of gets stalled in that form where, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. And when you have that slight, taper down to the bracelet, or rather the clasp it's a double deployment clasp, which allows you to open it by using these two push buttons. So you press it and it pops open very nicely. You have the Audemars Piguet logo right there underneath. And while we're here, I can actually try it on give you some more of my thoughts as to how it feels on the wrist, how it wears the overall experience. And on the wrist, I will need to have this size smaller for me because, and when it comes to sizing these sorts of bracelets, you will have to take out individual links until you reach the right size. On my wrist, I do have, about a couple links I could still take out but that's not an issue. I can just wear it a little bit higher. No problem. And when it comes to the overall presentation, again I measured 51 millimeters in height so I'm not getting that much framing with the bracelet when it comes to the case but when it comes to that case, I still get everything I paid for, a lot of variability a lot of usability and all that function all in one. And I can see that the chronograph is working just fine. If I get the angle just right you can actually see that chronograph hand moving. So I'm getting plenty of function, plenty of use out of this, when it comes to the casing, the lugs sort of flare out a little bit, that sort of attributes to that, 51 millimeter height, but that's actually not a bad thing because having those lugs sort of elevated off my wrist actually personally makes it really breathable. In addition to, the bracelet in general also has all that nice spacing, among all of those links, makes it very wearable, very breathable and I can actually use this, as sort of a sports application. I wouldn't really recommend that you do, should the opportunity arise or should it actually happen, you could wear this to a jog. You can jog with this, you may be able to do a couple of laps in the pool, no problem. Without it effectively creating a sweat waterfall off of your wrist. And so when it comes to the overall weight it's a bit on the chunky side but I wouldn't say it's necessarily, something that's sort of like their Royal Oak offshore line where it's very noticeable. You're throwing around this ball, with this chain around your wrist. The weight distribution closer to the case that is to the center of the wrist, but that's because the counterweight of the bracelet is not quite as much as that of, everything that's held in this case. This case is a chunker. Well, it's kind of a chunker it's not obviously like say the, the brick, the all yellow gold Audemers Piguet Royal Oak offshore. But it's certainly, pretty hefty for what you get. And at 41 millimeters, 51 millimeters in height it's a lot of time piece. It's a lot of watch to get, that dark blue dial it's absolutely gorgeous. It really is quite a unique sort of piece and indeed it really is because, these blue dials are boutique exclusives, when it comes to Audemars Piguet and why is that? It's because, making blue dials is so extremely difficult in the manufacturing phase, that they actually have the highest number of rejects, because they wanna get their shades their tints and their tones all perfect, for this, elegant presentation of the blue with those sub dials. So high rejection rate means you have fewer in quantity which means you can only really sell these reliably at an Audemars Piguet boutique, by appointment only. But, over here at JazTime we can get these very easily for you. We can source them, quite easily. So, if you'd like, we have bio-inks down below in the description and, I'd like to know your thoughts on this watch, how does it feel? How does it look overall in comparison to say any other watches you have? Or if you're considering this as your first watch, I would recommend it. It's very elegant. It has that sort of dressy look, but with the sporty sort of functions, you're prepared for anything with this watch. And even though you don't have much of a minute or second track to speak of, directly painted on that dial, it's a little bit recessed. It's sort of falls to the very back of that visual hierarchy but, while you don't really have that much to speak of there, you do have those sub hands that, my chronograph is still going and you can see that the 30 minute dial is actually ticking up as the minutes pass. So again, leave a comment down below what you think about this watch and be sure to leave a like cause it really helps the channel out.
