The cases of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 37mm Replica models haven’t changed much, if at all. Offered in 18k yellow gold, 18k pink gold, or stainless steel, all four options feature gem-set bezels. The stainless steel model and one of the pink-gold models feature 32 brilliant-cut diamonds, while the yellow gold has a yellow-to-blue gradient of 32 baguette-cut green tsavorites and blue and yellow sapphires.
The second rose gold model features 32 rubies, tsavorites, topaz, tanzanites, amethysts and orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink sapphires for a striking rainbow gradient—surely this will standout for most people. The cases measure 12.4mm-thick, but offer a pitiful 50m of water resistance despite a screw-down crown.
The Best Audemars Piguet Replica is offered in a black fully ceramic case that measures slimmer at 12.1mm but features the same exceptional brushed and polished finishing as its siblings. Of note on this case, the lug studs and crown guards are titanium and feature a knurling that gives the watch a sportier look than the other releases and that is exclusive to the Music Edition models. The water resistance from the screw-down ceramic crown is the same as the chronographs, which is to say, not much.
All the models are paired rubber straps equipped with AP’s proprietary interchangeable strap system. While the chronographs get more run-of-the-mill designs, the black rubber strap on the Music Edition has a mosaic pattern that echoes the dials pattern.Of note, each of the chronographs comes with an extra rubber strap coordinated to a different color in each model, while the Audemars Piguet Replica Watches Edition gets three such watches, all with the mosaic pattern.
The ROO Chronographs all have solid casebacks in the smear material as their cases, under which runs the automatic Audemars Piguet Calibre 2385. This in-house movement operates at 21,600 vph with a power reserve of 40 hours.The ROO Music Edition is more up to snuff, though, and is displayed through the sapphire glass in the caseback. It operates at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of 60 hours, plus you get to see all the beautiful finishing and the 18k gold rotor with black NAC coating.
