Get ready to elevate your wrist game with the latest offering from APS—the highly anticipated 26400 model is now accepting pre-orders. With a limited initial stock, this is the time to act fast if you’ve been eyeing a watch that’s as much a piece of art as it is a timekeeping marvel.
Let’s start with the watch glass: crafted from imported sapphire crystal, it features an anti-glare blue film. This means you get an artistic view of the glass no matter what angle the sun hits it. It’s like a mini art gallery on your wrist!
The bezel, identical to the original, boasts a brushed metal texture with hexagonal screws perfectly flush with the watch face. Achieving this level of precision requires high-grade molds, ensuring the bezel is smooth and gleaming.
The dial is a show-stopper in its own right. It sports a classic black-and-gray grid pattern that gives it a sophisticated depth. The white indices are balanced to perfection, with no imperfections in sight. Adding a splash of excitement are two sub-dials with red hands that pop against the black background. The 12 o’clock position features a small seconds dial, while a round date window graces the 3 o’clock position, complete with a magnifying lens to enhance its visibility.
The hands? They’re meticulously designed. Red-tipped hands add a bold accent, while the other two hands are smooth and free of any burrs.
Now, let’s talk about the crown—crafted from hexagonal ceramic and polished to a brushed finish. Flanking it are controls for starting, stopping, and resetting the chronograph, adding a commanding presence to the overall design.
Flip the watch over, and you’ll find a titanium see-through case back. It’s beautifully polished, with a blue sapphire crystal center that’s durable and clear. The engraved text and screws align perfectly with the case back, showcasing the attention to detail.
Finally, the movement—visible through the transparent back—oozes power. The black rotor is visually striking, adorned with gemstones on the movement surface. The modified 7750 caliber to 3126 small-seconds movement matches the genuine version in terms of power and reliability.
In summary, the APS 26400 is not just a watch; it’s a statement of precision engineering and stylish flair. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just getting started, this timepiece is a worthy addition to any collection.
