Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 150th Anniversary Watch Review

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 150th Anniversary is the last model to feature the Calibre 5135, a movement based on a historical movement from 1978 that has been used in Audemars Piguet’s 41mm Perpetual Calendar skeleton for nearly a decade. Today, this legendary work from 1978 has come to a successful conclusion. The best Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The sapphire dial offers a panoramic view of the inner workings of the skeleton movement. The inner bezel and the edges of the sub-dials present a rich blue hue that contrasts sharply with the color of the case, cleverly reinterpreting the contrasting aesthetic design of the original pocket watch. The slightly deepened blue hue harmonizes with the deep color of the 18K white gold “bathtub-shaped” hands of the same color, which are coated with a fluorescent coating to ensure that the time is clearly visible. Continuing the overall contrasting effect, the hour markers are silver-grey and have a delicate round shape, reminiscent of the brilliant-cut diamond hour markers of the original pocket watch. The functions of the perpetual calendar are displayed in white numbers and letters, and the font has also been redesigned, giving the dial an elegant and retro aesthetic.

This skeleton perpetual calendar watch has a moon phase display at 6 o'clock on the dial, interpreting the flow of time from a unique perspective. The moon phase disc is carefully decorated with images of the moon observed from the earth, and the moon phase changes in real time during continuous rotation. The lifelike moon pattern is taken from high-definition images taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, and is transferred to the disc using sapphire 1 metal spraying technology, paying tribute to the charm of the moon. The moon phase disc is precisely meshed with the transmission mechanism of the movement, and the different moon phases observed from the southern and northern hemispheres of the earth are simultaneously displayed through the window, vividly reproducing the eight different phases of the moon in a complete cycle of 29.5 days.

From the perspective of the earth, the moon will show different shapes when it revolves around the earth. The periodic changes of the moon phase can be observed all over the world, but the eight moon phases seen in the southern and northern hemispheres are presented in reverse order. The new limited edition perpetual calendar watch cleverly reproduces this astronomical phenomenon in a small space, showing the moon phases from different perspectives through two moons. The Calibre 5135 automatic winding movement can automatically identify the number of days per month and accurately display the date even in leap years.

Omega Pilot Speedmaster Steel Chronograph

Rolex's Air-King, IWC's Pilot, Zenith's Pilot, and Breitling's NAVITIMER series are all very well-known. Only Omega lacks a powerful pilot watch. In fact, looking back in history, Omega has also launched such a watch, the "Flightmaster" series. Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica Omega watches collection. Wide range of luxury watches brands.

The historical Flightmaster series is positioned as a professional flight watch and was produced between 1969 and 1972. Designed by Frédéric Robert, it uses a 43*52 mm case and has chronograph and GMT functions. The Flymaster watch has two models: the early (145.036) and the later (145.013). The early version is equipped with the Omega 910 manual winding movement, with a 24-hour chronograph dial at 9 o'clock; the later version is replaced with the 911 manual winding movement, with a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock. The work uses a combination of bright colors, such as orange chronograph hands, blue GMT hands, and green 24-hour sub-dial (910 movement model), which enhances the efficiency of information acquisition and injects vitality into the work.

The color choice of the Omega Pilot Speedmaster Steel Chronograph watch is inspired by historical works to a certain extent. However, as a continuation of the "Speedmaster" rather than the "Flightmaster" series, this watch embodies many characteristics of the Speedmaster series, such as the 40.85 mm symmetrical case, aluminum tachymeter bezel, arched sapphire mirror, and bottom cover engraved with a seahorse pattern, which are inherited from the first generation Speedmaster watch in 1957. 

It can be seen that the small second dial at 9 o'clock on the dial presents a blue "attitude meter" pattern; the chronograph dial at 3 o'clock has an orange scale, which is derived from the appearance design of the aircraft fuel gauge; the end of the chronograph second hand incorporates the shape of an aircraft, echoing the theme of the work. Luminous light is an indispensable and important function of a flight watch, which is conducive to pilots reading the time at night or when flying through clouds. Compared with the conventional Speedmaster series watches, this work has enlarged the luminous area of ​​the hands and hour markers, and the hour and minute hands are in a wide sword shape, covered with Super-LumiNova luminous material.

Turning to the back, this work does not adopt a back-through design, but a stainless steel caseback engraved with a seahorse pattern, with 100 meters of water resistance marked below it. The watch is equipped with the Omega 9900 automatic chronograph movement. This movement debuted in 2016 and was first equipped with the Seamaster series Ocean Universe watch, and has now expanded to the Speedmaster series.

The Omega 9900 movement has a diameter of 32.5 mm, a frequency of 28,800 VPH, a silicon hairspring, a vertical clutch and a column wheel, and a 60-hour power reserve. The surface of the movement is rhodium-plated and polished with Geneva waves. Today, the "Master Chronometer Certification" of the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) has become a hard indicator for Omega's movements. This certification is based on the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC) and has stricter standards than COSC, including the ability to withstand a strong magnetic field of 15,000 gauss and a daily error of no more than 5 seconds.

Hublot has always adhered to the concept of "protecting rhinos together and changing the world", and firmly believes that collective power plays a vital role in promoting the positive impact of protecting this blue planet for future generations. Currently, rhinos are still facing the plight of extinction, and their survival affects the stability of the population of the "Big Five" (African lions, African elephants, African buffaloes, African leopards and black rhinos), which are essential to maintaining the health and balance of the entire environmental ecosystem.

The case size is 42 mm and is made of micro-bead blasted and polished "warm gray" ceramic material customized by Hublot for SORAI, which cleverly echoes the unique color of rhino skin. This material was first used in the Big Bang Unico SORAI warm gray ceramic watch launched in 2023. The Big Bang Soul Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve SORAI watch is equipped with the HUB6020 watch factory-made manual winding hollow tourbillon movement, which can provide 5 days of power reserve.

The overall design is elegant and balanced. The watch, meanwhile, comes with a grey fabric strap and an accompanying black rubber strap with a striking grey and beige camouflage pattern.

Gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin 26586BA Watch

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin 26586BA is made entirely of 18K gold. It also reinterprets the RD#2, which once won the "Golden Pointer" award, with a new design. First of all, the appearance is closer to the preferences of Audemars Piguet collectors. The retro trend of gold watches is on the rise, but only Audemars Piguet watch enthusiasts in Greater China have the opportunity to get it. In terms of design and performance, it also continues the design essence of the previous RD#2. The watch has a diameter of 41 mm and is only 6.2 mm thick as an automatic perpetual calendar watch. This is due to the ultra-thin automatic winding perpetual calendar movement Calibre 5133, which is only 2.9 mm thick. 

Through two unique designs, the multi-layer structure of the perpetual calendar module is optimized, from three layers to one layer. By integrating gears, the most important and space-consuming part in the perpetual calendar module is the program wheel. However, Audemars Piguet overturned the calculation mode of traditional perpetual calendar gears and developed a new program wheel for RD#2. It uses a single-layer structure, strives for excellence, and does not miss any opportunity to make the watch thinner and reduce the thickness of the entire watch.
