We would greatly appreciate it if you would buy a watch from Jaztime.com once in a while. Today we'll be reviewing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Self winding Chronograph. This is the model number 26231BA.ZZ.D027CA.01 and of course, if that's a mouthful to say and too much to type, we have the links to the watch in the description below. We'll be going over the diamond bezel, case, crown, strap, buckle, and we'll be talking about the details towards the end of the video. So jumping right into the dial, we have a beautiful combination dial of the lady tapisserie pattern blue dial lady tapisserie being this sort of square patterning you would see on the typical of the Audemars Piguet line where you see this sort of square patterning behind the dial. But for the other Royal Oaks and the Royal Oak Offshores, they have mega tapisserie or petite tapisserie those are different squared patternings. This specific one? Actually stops at the edges as you can see where the hour markers are. It sort of smooths out instead so it keeps just the sort of general center area of the watch with that sort of square patterning before moving on to just a nice blue external zone which adds a nice little contrast to the face of the watch. It's actually very unique as well. Besides that, the color toning of the yellow gold case, matching with the champagne subdials, and the blue helping it pop a lot more just from the contrasting of colors they actually furthered that with the subdials that are the hands themselves on the subdials are also marked in a blue as well. The hour markers are marked with index hour markers gold tone counters all luminous filled, of course. Of course, we're missing a three, six, and nine, being as the subdials three, six, and nine as well sort of take up that real-estate there. We don't have those hour markers, but we do have the most important one which is the twelve o'clock position having the double line so you're able to tell the time at a glance very quickly and very easily. For the luminosity I can actually show you the luminosity itself so let me go ahead and charge up those markers. And shut off my light here so you get a better idea of how this looks. I'm just closing off that bezel and you can see very beautiful luminosity. I do apologize, I guess I was wrong. We still have the sort of dot indices at the three, six, nine to still sort of landmark those positions so you can be able to view the time very easily at night as well as you can see, it's very very easy to read. All right, turning the light back on here. But besides that, we just have the Audemars Piguet name at the twelve o'clock position chronographed subdials, typical of any watch we have in maybe different positions, but specifically for this one, we have the twelve hour relapse time at the nine o'clock position, thirty minute relapse timer at the three o'clock position, and this is actually the original seconds where your actual seconds of the watch is going because the central seconds hand on the main portion of the dial is actually controlled by the chronograph pushers and I'll show you how that works later in the video. But besides that, very beautiful dial this is the only dial you can get this watch in so you can only get it in the blue with the champagne subdials. Moving on, this is more of a luxurious dress watch on the AP line. Also is more for ladies as well this is a smaller watch. For the bezel, we still have the iconic hexagonal screws at its individual position, nicely high polished, adds a nice little contrast pop to the face of the watch make it a little more eye catching against these thirty-two brilliantly cut diamonds there's thirty-two diamonds in total as you can count from the individual rows and rows of four. And the whole karat's about one karat weight for the diamonds themselves on the bezel. Absolutely beautiful addition to the watch itself to make it even more eye catching if the color contrast from the champagne to the blue was not enough for you. As we move on to the case now the case is, as mentioned, it is a smaller sized casing as this is a ladies watch. We're looking at a thirty-seven millimeter case size so from my index finger to my thumb here, that's thirty-seven millimeter in diameter. For the side profile of the watch, it does sit higher off the wrist as APs typically do have a higher profile. You're looking at a case thickness of 12.35 millimeters. So while it's still a little bit tall, it still can fit under those suit cuffs and dress cuffs very easily. Showing you the other side as well, you can see the nice continuation of the brush polish from the top of the case to the bottom of the case, side, and on this side as well. Of course, we still have the typical chamfers nicely high polished and given a nice trimmed edge to the case itself. And of course, matching what a very beautiful high polish on the sides of the hexagonal bezel as well. Or rather octagonal bezel. But besides that, that's pretty much it for the case, as we're gonna move on to the crown now. The crown is located at the three o'clock position. It is a screw down crown, we're gonna go ahead and unwind that counter-clockwise, as shown. And then the standard position is where you can actually wind the watch about fifteen, twenty clockwise turns is all you need to get the watch started from a dead stop. Pull the crown out to the next position. And I just realized I didn't mention it, right between the four and five o'clock position, we have the date window easily adjusted by the crown function. No cyclops lens or any magnification on there as it's still actually pretty easy to read. Okay, I'm just gonna shift that over to the next day. And I'm pulling out the crown to the final position will actually um... Will let you adjust the time by directionally as shown so I'm gonna go ahead and set it back to the ten and the two. Very quick, very easy to do. And always make sure to press the crown in and to screw it nice and tight in against the case as you want to keep this watch water resistant specifically, water resistance for this watch is fifty meters. And of course, at the two o'clock and four o'clock position, we have the chronograph pushers, as this is a chronograph watch, as I mentioned before. Pressing that two o'clock pusher will start that central seconds hand, where you can check the elapsed time. And that's where the thirty minute relapsed time and the twelve hour relapsed time markers will begin to move in their own individual pace of course, as the time goes. You aren't able to reset the watch the chronograph function while it's going. You do have to pause it with the two o'clock position once more, and reset it with the four o'clock position and that will reset that main central seconds hand with the twelve hour relapse time and the thirty minute relapse time. All right, moving on to the strap now. So the strap, continuing on with the contrasting of the blue and gold theme, with a nice beautiful blue rubber strap, as this is a offshore watch, typically is a divers watch as the offshore name would entail. But you can see very beautiful rubber strap not a very light blue, a much darker blue for the rubber strap. You would think it looks like a tang buckle, but that's actually just to set the sort of wrist size, but besides that, you actually open it up, and it's a folding clasp. Very simple, very easy to use folding clasp so looks like a tang buckle works half of a tang buckle as you can actually adjust how you'd like for your sizing. And then you'll be able to open it up as so like a folding clasp. Now, just wanna show you the back of the case as you can see, the beautiful back of the case. A little smudge there, let me rub that right off for you. Still a little bit. Very high polish with the Royal Oak Offshore name embossed on there on the back there. We have some symbols like the AU750 being the gold, some hold marks on the side. Fortunately, this portion of the serial number at the bottom there, I can't show you. But there's the back of the case absolutely gorgeous use of the high polish on there. Just looks very beautiful to look at lovely use of whatever font they have there. All right, the movement itself is housed in the back, there's no expedition case back, cause I've shown you but it's just the movement itself is a self winding caliber 2385 movement. We're looking at a power reserve of forty hours, meaning you could put this watch down for a Friday evening, pick it back up on a Sunday morning, and it'll keep giving you the time just fine of course, self-winding meaning that just wearing the watch itself and not putting it down the simple inertia from your wrist and movements from your wrist will keep the watch going. The power reserve is strictly if you put the watch down, you don't touch it for a bit, then you do have to wind it from a dead stop as I showed you with the crown functions. But the movement itself is just to use the chronograph features of course and the hour and minute hands as well and the subdial functions as well. All right, now let me actually go ahead and show you this watch on my wrist. This is a ladies watch, it won't fully fit on my wrist, so I'm just gonna just show you it as best as I can and there we are. As you can see, very very beautiful watch. Absolutely eye catching with the usage of the diamonds in the bezel to capture the sort of light in a dazzling way as probably not best shown in my light box, but during daytime, you know those diamonds will catch light very beautifully. Just perfect use of the champagne subdials with the blue dial. And again, I'm mentioning the lady tapisserie patterning having that nice square patterning as Audemars Piguet known for, but also smoothing out the very outer edge to give it a nice sort of bordering sort of to finish it all up. Let's turn for the side profile of the watch. You can see how it doesn't sit too high off the wrist as I mentioned, still can fit under those suit cuffs and dress cuffs pretty easily, but it does sit higher than most watches.
