We greatly appreciate it, if you'd purchase your next watch from us at Jaztime.com. Today we'll be taking a look at, what I consider to be the new vampire from Audemars Piguet the Royal Offshore line. This one reference number 26470. or 26470SO.OO.8002CA.01 This one features a black dial with red trim for some of the accent coloring here. As you can see on the chronograph hand and some of the sub dials as well. You also have a ceramic bezel here, 42 millimeter case on a rubber strap here, pretty standard for a modern on-market gay Royal Oak Offshore, but this one being the new vampire let's cover some of the new things, but I'll just go over all the features, how about that? So starting off with the case, we also have the bezel, the dial, the crown functions, as well as the pushers and the strap. I'll cover all of these and more in this video. So starting off with this case, we have 42 millimeters from finger to thumb that's sort of like the measurement of the outermost portion of the bezel, basically from the two o'clock to eight o'clock position, same as the 10 to four o'clock position. Very easy to read what those Arabic numerals as well. Alright, you also have the full stainless steel construction with the exhibition case back showing the movement on the inside, more on that in a moment. But also taking a look here at the finishing. We have a nice sand brush finishing across the front of this case, running from top to bottom, same as the side of the case, top to bottom as well, sand brush finishing, but also you have sort of like this intermediate bevel that has a sort of high polish finish to it. So that it basically gives a very nice sort of, somewhat of a modular feeling. And the modularity really comes through, especially on the crown guard side with the pushers. You can see that all these pieces almost sort of fit as if they've been a separate, you know, separate entities and then just placed there purposefully, but it's all one big chunk of steel and it's very, very well finished here. Very, very good job from Audemars Piguet there. Sitting on the very front of this case. We have a black ceramic dial, also same sand brush finishing across the front with a nice high Polish on that first bevel and going down to that thick rubber gasket, right? And taking a look here at the dial, you also have a matching black mega top history dial with these sub dials here. The 12 o'clock being a small seconds. The only one with a reflective hand here, the other two sub dials with red hands for them 30 minutes at the nine and 12 hours at the six. And the overall color scheme here very much makes sense with the idea that it would be a vampire because, you know, black and red black for you know, the vampire aesthetic and red for the vampire setic or in other words, sort of like that hot topic sort of look dare I say, or even, you know, sort of like a goth girlfriend with large tracks of land or in other words, incredibly thick. And that's basically what you get here 14.6 millimeters thick, quite a big boy on the wrist. And with that bezel, with that gigantic water ceiling rubber gasket there giving it a hundred meters of water resistance, quite a monster on the wrist because well, that's what Audemars Piguet Royal Oak offshores do. They're big on the wrist in terms of the risk presence and here a little bit subtle with the color scheme here and with the black gigantic chunk on top of the steel, it's sort of exudes a bit of subtlety there. It's sort of towing the line between subtlety and well, not too obvious, but when it comes to the size, extremely obvious, taking a look here at the dial again, we also have Arabic numerals for the hour marks except the, you know, 12, three, six, and nine. Those have well, very, very tiny index markers, none of the three, you only have the date aperture there at the three o'clock position and the auto market gay logo directly to its left. Very, very full dial. It gives a very sporty look as well with the two cameras on the inner bezel there. So you can measure your units per hour based on how many or how far you go per minute, all right. So taking a look here at the functions here, we have the chronograph pushers. The top one starts at that center Mount of chronograph hand, nice and easy, 21,600 vibrations per hour. You'll get a six Hertz beat rate for this. So it's precise within one sixth of a second, quite good there. And once you start it, it basically starts up that 30 minute dial and keeps it going. So if you saw before I started up that chronograph hand, you'll see that the 30 minute timer has actually advanced quite a bit, and it's continuing to advance incrementally, and continually inline with that cinematic chronograph hand, you also have the 12 hour dial, which will also increments up every time the sub dial at the nine o'clock goes around twice. Makes sense, press the top button to stop it once more and press the bottom button to reset it as well as the chronograph dials at the six and nine o'clock positions, right? Rather simple there, when it comes to the crown functions, rather simple as well, simply unwind the crown at the three o'clock position. If you had a dead stop about 20 to 34 lines, will get you to the full power reserve. As you can see, you can continue to wind the watch even while the watch is running pretty standard features there, pull the crown out to the next position and you can actually quick set the date by rotating clockwise. It's about a quarter turn like realistically, a quarter turn, but it feels like a half turn. And that's due to the crown guards there. Preventing your fingers from advancing too far and also preventing, you know, damage to the ceramic makeup of the wining crown here. All right, so you can just do nice quarter turns up to whichever date works for you or rather which date is actually inherently correct. Right, rather simple there pull the crown out to the final position, note that the second's hand does stop. It will also stop the chronograph hand as well. So you can then set the minute hand and the hour hand precisely wherever it needs to go based on the position of that small seconds hand, or if you want to, you could just leave the chronograph hand running and base your time on that chronograph hand. So you have full control over the time in that respect. Once you have it nice and lined up, you can press the crown back in, start up that small second sand and the chronograph hand, if you have it engaged, then screw the crown back end tightly against the case to ensure the water resistance, all right? So what makes all of this work on the inside? I showed a little bit earlier it's the 3126/3840 movement made partially in-house made by Audemars Piguet. Some of the movement built on a Dupont, the pro movement. So basically you have a lot of the features for the timekeeping and the date setting, but the chronograph function is what Audemars Piguet sort of added on to this movement here. Again, the 3126/3840 features, 59 jewels, 365, total parts. Again beats and a frequency of three Hertz or 21,600 vibrations per hour, completely self-lining as you can see what the winding rotor center mounted there with the autumn Audemars Piguet family of crests on there, and also features a 50 hour power reserve. So basically you can set this down every other day or pick it up after two days and no need to wind the watch. Just give it a nice little wind when you're nearing the third day, just to make sure. And certainly you can wear it all day. And the unidirectional lining will wind the mainstream barrel, allowing you to then charge the watch up to that 50 hour power reserve. Nice and good there. And with the overall construction here at steel and ceramic hard to scratch the ceramic, hard to break the steel. You can certainly wear this every day. And what the color scheme here a little bit subtle, but when it comes to the size, not so subtle. I'll show you in a bit what it looks like on my wrist, but first let's take a look at this rubber strap here, giving you that same sort of color aesthetic black vulcanized rubber with a red sort of accent going along the outside here, and also going along the inside of the sizing holes. As you can see red underneath entirely. You also have a matching steel pin buckle, nothing too special to write home about. Two minder loops, the first one being stationary. The second one can slide up and down depending on your sizing for your rubber strap here. And while I'm here, I can actually show you what it looks like on a risk seven inches in circumference. And let me show you here that I wouldn't go lower than seven inches when it comes to the sizing for this watch, because I have a size to the very first hole, the smallest setting, and it fits me perfectly. So at "42 millimeters," that's what they say. I put that in quotation marks because according to Audemars Piguet it is 42 millimeters, and I tend to believe them, but it feels more like a 44 or 45, thanks to the crown guards and the chronograph pushers gives you a little bit extra space there and huge risk presence. It's a thick boy, again, 14.6 millimeters thick. Once you have it sink into your wrist, maybe closer to 13, 14 millimeters exactly. So it won't slide under a suit cuff, of that easily looser suit cuffs, maybe, but jacket sleeve, definitely. And when it comes to the overall compositional look here or the color scheme, rather, I wouldn't really say so much that this would be necessarily a vampire. Although, if that were to be more closer to your preconscious or, you know, just general priming, then sure you can call it a vampire. Although I do give this more of a racing look because of the chronograph features. Sort of on the level of the Rolex Daytona when it comes to the chronograph, but certainly a step up, a huge step up because this is Audemars Piguet. You're looking for extremely crazy workmanship here. Lots of tiny details, things that, you know, generally don't fit within a Rolex. And certainly with a bigger case size, you get a lot more risk presence and a lot more recognizability because you get the hexagonal rounded bezel there or rather the octagonal bezel with the hexagonal screws in there, there slots made so that it gives you that guest style form of visual perception of a closure sort of creating their own circle there with the little slots perfectly rotated in such a manner. taking a look at it down the risks here, tiny bit of space under the lugs. But when you, when you wear this nice and snuggle, like I do not all that much breathing room here, but this is a sporty watch. It's it's a rubber strap. You know what you're in for when you're getting something like this, it's not gonna go anywhere. And with the rubber strap, it clings tight to your wrist. So you can do, you know, all your natural physical activities with this watch on no problem, alright? And taking a look, again here, very easy to read when it comes to the readability, the glow in the dark features here, the luminescent portions of the dial. Let me turn out the lights. You can actually see quite bright actually, if my camera would like to focus there we go. Quite bright on the dial there again, the three, six, nine, and 12 hour marks kind of taken up by the sub dials and the date aperture, but the rest of the hours nice and easy to read the Royal Oak hands. A nice stick, like hands makes it very easy to read the positions of the hour and minute hands as well. Don't really need the seconds because well, when someone asks you the time or you're looking at the time, you don't really refer to the seconds you refer to the hour and the minutes. That's what matters to you. That's basically what matters to Audemars Piguet as well. Alright, but enough of what I think, what do you guys think about this Watch? Let us know what you think down in the comments below about this Royal Oak Offshore from Audemars Piguet the reference number 26470SO. The full reference number, I said that a little bit earlier. This one nicknamed the vampire initially, but now I'm gonna call it the new vampire because it's the newer sort of style with the ceramic bezel steel casing and rubber strap here.
