The case of the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph measures 42 mm in diameter and is available in both stainless steel and titanium. The signature octagonal bezel, inspired by the portholes of old ships is secured with hexagonal screws which helps insure its 100 meter water-resistant. The case is also provided with antimagnetic protection. The case-back of the new Royal Oak Offshore bares the traditional engraving of the Royal Oak Offshore logo.New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Watches are available with a silvered dial, or with an anthracite dial which are both adorned with a Mega Tapestry motif. The watch features a chronograph function which is displayed by a red central seconds hand, 30-minute and 12-hour counters. As well as a third counter for the small seconds and the large date aperture located at the 3 o'clock position. The stainless steel version of the Audemars Piguet watch is completed by a stainless steel bracelet with an AP triple-blade folding clasp or a black "Hornback" crocodile leather strap with a stainless steel AP folding clasp. The titanium version is completed with a titanium bracelet fitted with an AP triple-blade folding clasp.

An Audemars Piguet timepiece has caught the eye of one critic at last month's SIHH event, fashion watch fans may be interested to hear.Benjamin Clymer of Hodinkee found the model in question – the Millenary 4101 – very appealing.First unveiled at SIHH 2011, which took place between January 17th and 21st, one of the first design features that draws the eye is the "versatile case material that is much more approachable than any precious metal".Other unique elements of the Millenary 4101 include a watch that is designed to balance the dial and movement displays, as well as a trio of bright jewels appearing at the ten, 11 and 12 o'clock locations.Altogether, the Audemars Piquet timepiece is made up of 34 jewels, with a movement featuring 253 parts and a power reserve of 60 hours *** for a highly-accurate and reliable display."In my very humble opinion, Audemars Piguet hit the nail on the head with this new piece and they have a soon to be hit on their hands," Mr Clymer concluded.
