SIHH 2010: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Equation of TimeThe new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Equation of Time is the very first AP RO in all the 38 years of the model’s history to be presented with a perpetual calendar and equation of times, the astronomical complications usually reserved for “dressier” APs.This is an interesting trend we are witnessing. Together with Officine Panerai, Audemars Piguet is the second major watchmaker to present an inherently sporty watch with astronomical complications that were always in the realm of more refined and elegant timepieces, like, say, the gorgeous Girard-Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar and Equation of Time watch introduced exactly a year ago.Either this is a completely logical development of the mechanical species in the Darwinian sense or is just another step towards their inevitable demise (do they stuff all these complications into brutal and simple chronographs because interest in them is waning?) only time will tell.As for now, this is one of the most complicated AP Royal Oaks, which is powered by their famous AP 2120 base caliber. Claimed to be world’s thinnest automatic movement with a central rotor, the caliber is also one of the most precise when it comes to perpetual calendars and moonphases. In fact, the movement is so accurate that you will have to correct the calendar only once: on March 1, 2100. The moonphase module is also accurate enough to require only one correction in 122 years and 44 days.Wow.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor is a version of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch which is made for people who have an active lifestyle. The Survivor (aptly named) is a limited edition affair. This stunning watch is made of blackened titanium which is light weight and sturdy. This Royal oak is the first to feature push piece guards which protect the chronograph push pieces from being accidentally pressed. It is going to be very exclusive as only one thousand watches will be produced.
