Audemars Piguet Men’s Watches: Royal (Shopping for ladies gold digital watches) Oak Concept
The Royal Oak Concept watch took Audemars Piguet more than two years to produce because of its tedious technology involved both in its movement and design. It is a mechanical and manual-winding tourbillon. The finishing is fully by hand to complete its chamfered and sapphire-blasted plates, bars and bridges in its movement.
It case is made of Alacrite 602 which is an alloy of cobalt, chromium, and tungsten used widely in the aeronautical industry. The bezel is made of titanium and the case is made to resist pressure up to 50 bar and a water resistance up to 500m.
It has a thick case of 17.51mm and its sapphire crystal is 4.58mm thick too. Its caseback is transparent with sapphire crystal of 4.13mm thick. This positions the Royal Oak Concept watch to be able to withstand extreme conditions. Even the tourbillon is resting on a few shock absorbers.
The power reserve indicator is linear at 3 and shows 1 barrel turn for every 6 hours. It also runs a Dynamograph at 12 which is a mainspring tourque indicator.
The dial is replaced by the bottom plate of the movement making it look skeletonized. It has a sub-dial for small seconds located at 6 and its tourbillon can be seen at 9.
The crown function selector is positioned at 3 with a pushpiece at 4. The pushpiece allows a selection to be neutral, rewinding, and hour and minutes where the crown can adjust these three choices. This prevents wear and tear of the joints for the movement as well as improves its water resistance capability.
Its straps are all made of synthetic fibers that use Audemars Piguet’s clasp system made of titanium and stainless steel. This watch is a limited edition of 150 pieces only celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak.
