This is the model number 26480TI.OO.A027CA.01. We'll be going over the dial, bezel, case, crown, strap, clasp, and we'll talk about the movement towards the end of the video. And of course, one thing to mention, since it is quite a long model number for this watch, we'll have the link to this watch in the description below. But let's take a closer look at this dial. So, jumping right into the dial, you can see a very beautiful blue-style dial. You can see, as this is a chronograph watch, we have additional subdials as well. As you would expect from a chronograph watch, we have a 30 minutes elapsed time at the three o'clock position, 12 hour elapsed time at the nine o'clock position, and the actual seconds for the watch at the six o'clock position. This is where, if normally the seconds hand would be rotating around on the dial of the face, instead, we have it at that small subdials, as this central seconds hand right here that's currently currently static in position, is actually for the chronograph function with the two pushes here, at the two o'clock and four o'clock position, which I'll show you later as we move on to it. As you can see, that beautiful blue dial matching with this sort of domed, sort of inverse domed, sort of outer edge for the dial gives a nice little depth to it, as it makes it look a little more dynamic in terms of adding that depth, instead of just being just a regular rehaut that's just a standstill. You have this nice smooth curve that goes into the face of the watch that gives it that nice sort of, depth to the face of the watch. Otherwise, the patterning itself, it's pretty much what Audemars Piguet is known for, for the specific dials. This patterning is called the "Méga Tapisserie" pattern, It has other Tapisserie patterns as well, such as the "Petite Tapisserie", "Grande Tapisserie", and then I believe there's a, sort of a "Lady's Tapisserie" as well. But this is the Méga Tapisserie, this is the largest of the patternings, where this boxy square look, you can actually see the light, sort of, give it more depth as well, sort of, jets out from the face of the dial. So there's actual indentations for each of those little squares. It makes that nice background a little more dynamic in conjunction with the outer edge wall of the watch itself. Nice use of white for the indices, for the very outer edge. As you can see, each white indices, arabic numerals for every five position or hour marker position. And of course, each hour marker is fashioned in steel, with a nice little luminosity filling as well, which I can actually show you here. The luminosity is also on the hour hand, as well and on the minute hand, as well. Skeletonized in the center of the hands, of course, to not sort of, block those subdials from being read. So let me actually show you the luminosity on his watch. So I'm gonna charge it up just a little bit. And then were gonna shut off lights here. And there we are. You can see, very beautiful glow in the dark luminosity. It is a green luminosity. So this watch will be able to be read at night, as well as during the day. Okay, go ahead and turn these lights back on. All right. So, besides that, instead of making the whole subdials, all the subdials just that nice gray color. You have the nice, sort of contrasting from the gray, with additional, sort of a silver-ish outlining for each of the actual elapsed time subdials. And what I mean by that is that of course, these two subdials track the elapsed time along with that central seconds hand. So, the sort of like a landmark indicator, is that these are the two ones that we'll be tracking your elapsed time for the chronograph functions, while the six o'clock one is your ticking seconds. All right. Moving on to the case now, or rather the bezel. The bezel is nicely brushed polished. As you can see the brush polish matching very beautifully with the brush polish on the case as well, all in a uniform, vertically polishing shape. Of course, that's always broken up by the hexagonal screws that you see all around the octagonal bezel. And it brings a nice little shine, a little high polish to the face of the watch to give it just a nice little pop of contrast. As you can see, they also added a nice edge of high polish as well to the edge of the bezel. Once again, to really encompass and give that watch a nice little shape, instead of just doing all brush polish, and it's just sort of gets muddied out by just having that brush all the way through. You get these nice pops of high polish from the screws themself. And then also from the bezel. It really gives a nice contrast to the face of the watch. The bezel material itself is a titanium bezel, and that's to match what the titanium case as well. The chrono pushers and the crown are also in that titanium. This whole watch is in titanium. Of course, not for the strap as the strap is rubber. But anywhere that you would see that sort of, grayish metal, it is in fact titanium. So this watch feels very nice on the wrist. It doesn't feel too heavy even though being a 42 millimeter watch. It won't feel too heavy on the wrist because the titanium is a lighter material. So you won't get that sort of, risk fatigue from wearing such a larger watch. So as there's not really much else to say about the bezel, we move on to the case. I have mentioned it's a 42 millimeter case size, so from my index finger to my thumb here, that's 42 millimeters in diameter. I did mention that this watch is a large watch, but in terms of the typical Audemars Piguet Offshore watches, this is actually one of the sort of, slimmed down from the generic Offshore pieces. This piece itself is actually very unique, as it may not look like it at first, but it's a 42 millimeters. Most of the Offshores, they either come in the 44 millimeters or for the ladies, I believe it's a 37 or 38 millimeter sized watch. But now we have a 42 millimeters, so that's two millimeters smaller than the average Offshore. But also from the side profile view of the case, you can see it's still a pretty thick watch overall, but now it's sort of within a more of a slimmer profile because now we have a slimmer case. That's around like, I believe, around like 12 and a half millimeters or so compared to a typical Offshore, which can be around the sort of a like a Deepsea's size, which is around like a 14 and a half millimeter. So we have a smaller case size, overall. So not only does this watch feel very light, it doesn't go too small, going into a smaller range where it would be a ladies' watch. But it's just a nice sort of, midpoint between the two. You have a 42 millimeter watch, titanium material for a nice weight to the watch that isn't too heavy, and then now we have a slimmer case, so now it will fit the suit cuffs, dress cuffs without stretching them or such things like that, and it won't sit too high off the wrist. So, if you had your eyes on an Offshore watch, and you're interested in something not so big because the Offshores, like I said, they're 44 millimeters, this could be the choice for you. This one, I believe, was just recently released. So if you're interested in this piece, like I said, we have links to the watch in the description below, which we can get this watch for you. But anyways, moving on now, we're gonna move on to the crown and the chronograph pushers. So I just want to show you this side before I actually use the functions. You can see, very beautiful AP logo on a brush finish. At the top of the crown, nice edging of the high polish to give that sort of shine to the side of the watch. And just wanna show you the other side of the case one more time. So a nice brush finish of that titanium throughout. We also have the very beautiful chamfers of the high polish, as well. Same thing on this side, it's basically a brush finish throughout. And then a nice mirror polish on the crown, on the chrono pushers, and on the chamfers as well, to sort of help keep that nice and window look with a beautiful bordering of that high polish. All right. So, let's check out the crown functions. So the crown, of course, located here at the three o'clock position. We're gonna unwind it counterclockwise, as shown. In a standard position is where you can wind your AP watch. This is gonna be 15 to 20 clockwise turns, this is all you need to get it started once more. Pulling the crown out to the next position, will allow you to adjust the date, which is located here, right between the four and five o'clock position. And you can just adjust it simply by going on clockwise. And then pulling the crown out to the final position, will allow you to adjust the hands bidirectionally as shown. I'm gonna set it back to the ten and two. And always press the crown back in, and screw it nice and tight in against the case, as you wanna keep your watch water resistant. Specifically for this AP watch, you're looking at a water resistance of 100 meters or 330 feet with the crown nice and tight in against the case. Moving on to the chrono pushers now. It's just a standard chronograph feature. It looks very beautiful. One thing I didn't mention is, just look how beautiful they use the colors. Basically how they use their colors, and how the use their polishes. There's just minimal use of it, just to give it a nice pop in various areas. As you can see the chrono pushers has, just a sliver of blue that matches with the dial, sliver of the blue matching on the crown, and on the other chronograph pusher at the four o'clock position. And it really just adds a little bit more to the face of the watch overall than just being, just a mundane, all steel, all brush finish watch. So just nice little touches and nice use of the high polish and colors, overall. So I'm gonna show you the chronograph features now. So we're gonna put us to two o'clock position, that's going to start that central seconds hand. You can see, it's currently white tipped with a sort of, blue body. And I'm gonna stop it, once again. And then the resetting is at the four o'clock, and there we are. So very cool feature. I'm not too sure how useful it is for most everyday people, but you can use it for numerous different things. Most people, if you're maybe into NASCAR or into yacht racing, you could use it to track your elapsed time for races. But even if you're not that, you're not doing things like that, you can even just use it for everyday things, like cooking. You could set an elapsed, you know, hit that start and stop feature, whenever you like. And just keep track of your elapsed time, whenever you like. It's a nice little feature to have. But mainly, it is just how they've done. This very specific model is very beautiful because typically, the chronograph features itself match the crown, in terms of shape so that it would be sort of a crown look with a sort of a circular, I'm sorry, circular button at the two o'clock and four o'clock position. But now we have this nice, aggressive, and it's more aggressive and streamlined shape, where it juts out and goes back down into that sort of, matching with the case sides. So the shape of the case, the silhouette of it, isn't interrupted. So now we just have these buttons in place of what would have interrupted that silhouette of the case. All right. Moving on to the strap now. The strap, nice blue rubber strap, as you can see. And on the other side as well, beautiful blue rubber strap, on both sides. Okay. For the buckle, the buckle itself, also in a titanium with the AP name or rather AP letters. And that's also in a titanium, as I said, the pin buckle. The really important thing here, is this case back, very beautiful engraving of this sort of, pairing logo on this case back. Typically you would see on Offshores, I believe, they would have more of an exhibition case back. But now, instead we have this beautiful titanium case back. As you can see, even when I tilt it against the light box, it that has, sort of a radiant sun bursting sort of, feature to it. Once again, I mean you have the high polish screws, adding a nice little contrast to it. But overall, it's just a very beautiful patterning, nicely engraved by Audemars Piguet for the Royal Oak Offshore. All right. So the movement of course, is housed in the case itself there. For the movement, most special thing about this movement as well, is that it's a caliber 2385 movement. It's the movement they would be used in the standard Royal Oaks or even the female Offshores, the 37 millimeter versions. And so, the typical Offshore would use a 3186 movement, which is sort of a modular movement that they've used. I believe it's a base of 3140 with a 3186. And basically, it's a base movement but then they add on the chronograph feature as a more of a modular movement for their watches. It's a larger movement as well, being 29 millimeters. But the movement that this one has, this AP has, it's a 2385 movement. It has the total sizing of 26.2 millimeters. So about, almost three millimeters smaller than the typical Offshore movement. But still, it has the same thing, balance spring type, annular balance spring type, frequency of three Hertz. It's an automatic watch, and it has a oscillator made of an 18 carat gold, as well. And it's similar power reserve with the 40 hour power reserve. The movement itself made of 304 different parts, 37 jewels, so on and so forth. But the main difference between that movement, besides it being smaller so that it can fit a smaller Offshore size of the 42 millimeters, is also that the chronograph feature is integrated into the movement. So it doesn't have that chronograph movement placed on top of that base movement, the movement was built from the ground up, with the chronograph feature in mind, which is what this has. And you're probably wondering, "Well, what does that matter? Like, are you gonna really notice the difference?" No, technically, you wouldn't notice the difference, but there are some cases as AP was switching to the sort of, modular movements, that they've been having more issues than just a regular integrated chronograph movement. And it's just more efficient that way you just sort of, have the base of it be made with the chronograph feature in mind, rather than just sort of slapping on another chronograph movement onto a modular movement. I would assume there would be less issues that way. I can't be 100% sure, I'm not a watchmaker. But that's what I, from what I understand, that's what the sort of, difference between those two things are. But anyways, let me show you this watch on my wrist now. So I'm actually gonna have to take it out of the light box for a little more room. So give me one moment here as I place on this watch. And, there we are. So here's that here's that our Audemars Piguet watch. As you can see, very beautiful watch. Have the average man sized wrist of a seven inch wrist, and you can see, fits perfectly on my wrist. It doesn't look too big. It looks just the perfect size, really. That blue, absolutely beautiful blue. Once again, the high polish, just a minimal use of the high polish really makes the whole overall of the watch pop way more. Rubber strap, comfortable rubber shop. Can't really say much about it, just besides it being a rubber strap. Of course, there's a little bit of play here from the connection joint of it to give you not such a stiff wear in this watch. Nice, beautiful brush finish on that titanium. And you can see, that the sort of, 45 degree angle lugs, really help encompass this whole shape of the watch onto the wrist so that it doesn't feel like it juts out and wears much larger. It feels like it wears a little bit smaller because it conforms it conforms the wrist.
