Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor, Limited Edition Of 1000 Pieces

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor is an exciting new addition to what many connoisseurs consider the world's most famous high luxury sports watch collection.  Carrying on the highly technical design theme of such coveted Royal Oak Offshore variants as the T3 and the Rubens Barrichello, the Survivor displays a number of unique features.

Manufactured from blackened titanium, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor's "strongbox" case measures 42mm and features socket-head screws on the grooved octagonal bezel--a component which is jointly crafted from titanium and ceramic.  Graduated perforations on the left side of the case are intended to minimize weight.  Perhaps the most visually arresting aspects of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor are the hinged chronograph pushpiece guards and out-sized winding crown with its notched rim and massive, faceted protective shoulders.  These black titanium elements are visually complimented by an intricate "Mega Tapisserie" dial with a concentrically circled periphery, bi-colored small seconds subdial, and distinctively skeletonized hands.  The rehaut bears a tachymeter scale, a feature which facilitates the calculation of elapsed time averages.  A flat crystal in sapphire offers optimal protection against scratches.  

Ticking within the futuristic form of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor is the manufacture AP 3126/3840 caliber.   Comprised of 365 carefully finished parts, the 3126/3840 offers a number of desirable technical points.  Among these features are a variable-inertia balance with eight "masselotte" weights, a stop-seconds mechanism, fast date correction, and a highly stable balance cock.  The massive 22-karat gold rotor winds the mainspring in both of its directions of rotation, and powers the watch to a 60-hour power reserve.  An anti-magnetic strongbox cage protects the caliber's precision against the deleterious effects of magnetic fields.  

Audemars Piguet will produce 1,000 examples of the Royal Oak Offshore Survivor.  Each Offshore Survivor is fitted with a checkered rubber strap, and a specially textured non-slip titanium medallion caseback engraved with "Royal Oak Offshore Survivor--Limited Edition".  The watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
