Audemars Piguet: Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi
The Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Team Chronograph is one of the latest watches from Audemars Piguet. Made from carbon fiber, like Class America boats which use carbon fiber for lightness, the Alinghi uses a self-winding movement with a power reserve of up to 60 hours. Nautically inspired details include a red-rimmed six-hour counter at the 6 spot, the twenty-minute counter at 9 spot that has an open-worked hand shaped like a ship’s prow and the Alinghi logo that takes the place of the 3 spot.

The countdown aperture in the upper right-hand part of the dial counts off the minutes prior to the start of a regatta and gradually becomes red as it nears the moment when the boats cross the start line. The 44mm case has a forged carbon bezel and is available with a case of forged carbon (1,300), 18K pink gold (600), or platinum (107). No word on price yet.
