Audemars Piguet Brings Back the 'End Of Days' ROO Chronograph
The Beast continues to spread in pop culture, and the black ceramic edition pays homage to the iconic End of Days model.replica watch for sale
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore aka The Beast, and we've seen the brand celebrate the event with several new models from Le Brassus, such as the ROO Chronograph 43mm Black Ceramic and Yellow Gold, or the stunning Black Ceramic Beast. The latest version of ROO is based on this recent one, but with a different look as it takes you back to the 1990s and the end of the world, reference number 25770SN. The new models underscore the importance of the limited-edition watch launched in 1999 in collaboration with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the legendary timepiece that inspired his outfits.
End of Days wasn't a movie you should have spent your time watching in 1999, and it certainly isn't worth it now. Arnold Schwarzenegger's chosen lead role was reportedly written for Tom Cruise, who went on to work on Magnolia (good for you, Tom!). Liv Tyler and Kate Winslet turned down offers to be Arnie's companions. Sam Raimi and Guillermo del Toro turned down contracts to direct the film, so Peter Hyams ended up directing. If you're my age, maybe you'll remember him from "Capricorn One," "Outland," and "The Presidio," the last two starring Sean Connery. These are some of Hyams' best work, with many failures before and after. But I digress. Shopping replica watches
"The watch is black and I want yellow numbers". According to Associated Press CEO François-Henry Bennahmias, that's how Arnold Schwarzenegger outlined the specs for the offshore-style wristwatch he agreed to wear in the apocalypse. Offshore was designed with input from Schwarzenegger, and only appears briefly in a close-up when Arnold hangs from a balcony in one of the action-horror movie scenes, again quoting François-Henry Bennahmias. Don't waste time watching movies hoping to see a watch here, there and everywhere. It wasn't the movies that made the watch famous, it was what happened afterward.
That same year, Audemars Piguet launched a limited edition of 500 individually numbered Royal Oak Offshore "End of Days" watches. This Special Ops-like black Offshore model (the first ever PVD-coated AP) with yellow neon luminescent Arabic numerals is likely the first - or first - to collaborate with a celebrity It's hard to believe now that various collaborations seem to have flooded the watch market a long time ago. "End of Days" was an instant hit, launching a string of successful partnerships with Audemars Piguet, resulting in multiple Offshore limited editions, endorsements from influential figures in sports and entertainment, and making Offshore a star — — Still Royal Oak Offshore End of Days 25770SN If you ask me, I'd vote for a lot of the others.high quality replica watches
Now that the importance of the original that inspired the new Royal Oak Offshore Automatic Chronograph 26420CE is established, let's see what AP has to offer. The new watch features a 43mm black ceramic case with titanium elements, is 14.4mm thick and weighs just 103 grams. The characteristic octagonal black ceramic bezel is secured to the case by eight stainless steel screws; the pushers and screw-down crown are black ceramic, and the crown guard and case back are made of titanium. Although the hardness of the ceramic makes any work on the case a challenge, Audemars Piguet deftly continues to impress by treating the case according to the brand's customary alternating polished and satin finishes.
The black dial features anti-glare sapphire glass, and the dial features the new Mega Tapisserie plaid for the 2021 Offshore collection, with yellow accents to celebrate the 1999 edition. The tachymeter scale is printed on the black inner ring above the white minute track. Platinum applied hour markers and hands are coated with black nickel and filled with yellow luminescent material. The subdials are black with white markers and hands; the date window at 4:30 shows a black disc and contrasting white numerals. The overall impression is that of a modern luxury timepiece, better suited to be worn on a mega yacht than Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting the devil himself in Doomsday.replica watches for men
The new Offshore is equipped with a 4401 self-winding flyback chronograph, featuring a one-piece construction and column wheel for smooth operation. The movement, visible through the case back, is beautifully decorated with Côtes de Genève, circular grain, sunburst and circular satin finishes and polished bezels. The rotor is made of rose gold, but thanks to a special process of coloring it is anthracite gray.
The watch is equipped with a black calfskin strap with textile effect and yellow stitching, and a yellow calfskin strap with black stitching. The straps are easily replaced via the interchangeable system, which is standard on the latest generation of Offshore models.replica watches Review
