Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42 mm - front On my blog, Watch-Insider.com, I am assembling lists of my top five watches introduced at last year’s SIHH in three categories: design, innovation and, today, my favorite sports watches. Keep in mind these are listed in alphabetical order, not ranked by preference. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42 mm Some may call me an idiot or tell me I have no taste, but I simply love this new, blue Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph from Audemars Piguet. I find it absolutely stunning and vibrant, perhaps because it’s a perfect stylistic accompaniment to my preferred outfit of blue jeans & Etro shirts. My only small disappointment is the fact that the watch still has no integrated chronograph caliber. The base is AP’s in-house Caliber 3120, but the chronograph module is from Dubois Dépraz. You can learn more about AP’s development of an integrated chronograph movement in my interview with Audemars Piguet CEO François-Henry Bennahmias.
