ROO Chrono black/black colorway

Looks like AP is continuing the trend of black on black watches.

Introducing - Audemars Royal Oak Offshore Black Ceramic Beast

The ROO Beast is now available in black ceramic. Meet the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm Black Ceramic 26238CE.

Full-black ceramic Royal Oak watches have always been high on the list of grail watches – think about the RO Perpetual Calendar, the RO Double Balance Wheel Openworked or even the rather delightful 34mm Selfwinding RO – all extremely popular and sought-after models. And now, for the first time, the classic Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 42mm comes in this same monochromatic, full-black ceramic attire… The Ceramic Beast, a.k.a the 26238CE.

I cant wait for this to be repped by factories... hopefully it will coincide with the release of the 3126...

Seems a bit too boring for me

If theres something AP is an absolute top in, its ceramic.

I love AP ceramics. The murdered out Beast looks interesting. And it wont be that annoying to wear, due to the material.
Definitely something different, they never made purely B&W anything, so nice adition.

I'm interested to see the Blue ceramic in person

Its beautiful (also ceramic colouring is a bitch), but in terms of perpetuals, I still prefer the white version.
Right behind that is the black openworked version.

Yup. Those are all winners.

Ditto. And looks like they're gonna use the metal bracelet too. Don't mind the rubber one, but it's nice to have some variety in the ROOs. My new grail AP!

Even if they did a half-assed job with available ROO Chrono parts I honestly wouldn't mind. There are so many variations of the ROOC that some creative liberty can be afforded IMO.

I can see AFSP attempting this. I have the perpetual black ceramic and its a gorgeous watch

What’s got the 3126 to do with this? It’s not used in the watch you posted.

You do know that it’s a model using the cal.4404 aka seconds@6 right? So even if the 3126 is being cloned it has nothing to do with this model.

Royal Oak Offshore 42mm Black Ceramic APF 1:1 Best Edition Black Textured Dial on Black Rubber Strap A4404

That didn't take long.

Looks like the subdails at 12 are a bit off. Not surprising, since they probably cobbled this together with existing parts. The datewheel also looks pretty bad. Anyone plan on getting one?

 

[Procurator]

Not until they do the ceramic bracelet for it.

17mm thick?! Mammamia… and still sec @ 12 :/

lol, it's more of a fantasy piece that happens to resemble a real watch. sadly we don't see too much innovation in the ROO space

 

[Reaps]

Anyone purchased this?
