Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘Precision is an art’? Well, TUR seems to have turned it into a masterpiece with the launch of their Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore series. This isn’t just your average luxury watch re-creation; it’s an exquisite embodiment of meticulous aesthetics and cutting-edge craftsmanship.
Let’s talk materials. The watch case and bezel are forged using a groundbreaking colored ceramic technology. TUR spares no expense, utilizing zirconia imported directly from Japan. This is then molded under extremely high pressure and temperature, resulting in a colored ceramic of exceptional density—no pigments needed. Each product undergoes a painstaking selection process, ensuring that there is not a shade of color difference between it and the original. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, guys.
Every edge of the case is precision-cut with CNC machinery and polished to perfection. The ceramic, case, and case back align seamlessly, offering a straight line without any rough edges. Even the brushed finish on the bezel is achieved with top-notch polishing techniques, making sure each line and thread is flawless. The hexagonal screws lie perfectly flush with the case, rejecting any protrusion or indentation. This, my friends, is the very definition of top-tier replica craftsmanship.
The dial leaves no room for imperfection either. It features Audemars Piguet’s iconic large square pattern as the backdrop, meticulously polished to perfection. A date window at the three o’clock position is magnified by a sapphire crystal convex lens, replicating the original’s effect so well that you’d think you were seeing double.
Each watch hand is crafted to perfection, with no burrs visible from any angle. For those of us with a touch of OCD, this is like a dream come true. The markers and central parts of the hands use Swiss-imported luminous powder, each filled in by hand to achieve a uniformity and fullness that machines just can’t match. The brightness and glow are indistinguishable from the original.
Under the hood, the watch uses a 7750 modified 3126 chronograph movement. It features a sub-second dial at the 12 o’clock position and 12-hour and 30-minute counters at the six and nine o’clock positions, faithfully restoring the original’s functionality. With precision polishing, the stability of the 7750 base movement is significantly enhanced, putting to rest the age-old issue of chronograph models being all show and no go. In short, it’s a cut above the rest, earning its place as a top-tier creation. Watch enthusiasts, you definitely want to take a closer look!
