Audemars Piguet 38mm Royal Oak Chronograph

Like the new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar launched last year, the Audemars Piguet 38mm Royal Oak Chronograph adopts a gradual rather than revolutionary improvement; essentially, it's still the same watch, just better. Audemars Piguet clearly understands that this watch must neither undermine previous successful designs nor fail to perfectly address the challenges it faces.

The challenge lies precisely in its nearly 40-year-old movement platform, which is now quite outdated. The 38mm Oak Chronograph has always used the 2385 movement, also known as the FP1185, now the Blancpain 1185 automatic chronograph movement. While its slim 5.5mm size remains impressive even today, its performance is truly lacking. 

The most significant change in the Audemars Piguet 38mm Oak Chronograph, model number 26450, compared to its predecessor, is the replacement of the old model with the new Audemars Piguet in-house 6401 automatic chronograph movement. This movement has a diameter of 27mm and a thickness of 5.7mm. Although its size is 0.8mm larger and 0.2mm thicker than the old 2385 movement, its performance and practicality improvements are truly revolutionary. Firstly, the frequency has increased from 21,600 vibrations per hour in the 2385 to 28,800 vibrations per hour. Secondly, the power reserve has increased from 40 hours to 50 hours, and an instantaneous date has been added. However, the most crucial highlight of this movement is its new vertical clutch control system.

This entirely new control method eliminates the previous pawl springs, operating only the first pawl and the second pawl with an integrated spring plate via the column wheel. This makes the chronograph pushers lighter to the touch, although not as light as the RD#5, but effectively reduces wear between the pawls and the column wheel. After pressing them, the feel was essentially the same as the 41mm Oak Chronograph, and compared to the older model, it's a complete blowout. Of course, this new structure has one drawback: it doesn't support flyback. But thinking about it, if it did support flyback, the 4401 movement of the 41mm Oak Chronograph would be unnecessary https://www.firstwatchclone.co/.

Besides the stunning new vertical clutch control, the upgrade to the escapement, which is of utmost importance to me, is a complete departure from the 2385. It not only features a free-sprung balance wheel and a transverse balance bridge, but also incorporates an in-line micro-adjustment balance wheel derived from the RD#3 and previously only found in Audemars Piguet's 7-series movements. And now, we can finally admire the movement's exquisite finishing through the transparent case back on the 38mm Oak Chronograph. While the exterior remains largely unchanged compared to the stunning movement, subtle adjustments have also been made to the details.

To accommodate the 6401 movement, the 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph subdials have been swapped. Secondly, while the three subdials are now the same size, the subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock have been slightly moved upwards, with their centers now crossing the center line of the dial. Thirdly, the date window is now perfectly positioned at the center of the 4 and 5 o'clock markers. Finally, Audemars Piguet has recalibrated the hour markers to match the new movement's 4 Hz frequency, and the two chronograph pushers are now further away from the crown. These seemingly minor details make this new 38mm Oak Chronograph appear more spacious and less crowded.

Glashütte Original Serenade Luna Skyline Blue For Women

The Glashütte Original Serenade Luna Skyline Blue evokes a dreamlike sensation—a harmonious blend of sky and moonlight—crafted from blue mother-of-pearl. With a diameter of 32.5 mm and a thickness of 8.9 mm, the case sits perfectly on the wrist, offering truly ideal proportions. Crafted from stainless steel, the case material lends itself to everyday wearability, making it a more practical choice than its precious metal counterparts.

The bezel is set with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a luminous halo that encircles the dial. The crown, also fashioned from stainless steel, features a diamond set into its tip; this exquisite detail ensures that the entire timepiece appears refined and elegant from every angle. The dial itself is a true highlight, with the blue mother-of-pearl standing out as the watch's most captivating feature. As a natural material, mother-of-pearl possesses unique textures; no two pieces share the exact same luster or grain pattern, making it an ideal choice for ladies' timepieces. While a standard blue dial might offer only a single uniform shade, a mother-of-pearl dial conveys a sense of natural fluidity—resembling, from a distance, a vast expanse of sky dotted with drifting white clouds, creating a remarkable sense of visual depth. The entire moon phase disc, positioned at the 6 o'clock mark, is crafted from the same mother-of-pearl material as the main dial. To enhance the realistic, layered effect of the sky, the reverse side of the disc has been specially coated with four layers of blue lacquer; this technique imbues the night sky within the moon phase aperture with a greater sense of depth, creating a natural visual harmony with the main dial. The moon phase display window is further adorned with meticulously inlaid silver stars.

The dial layout is uncluttered and balanced; baton-style indices ensure excellent legibility, while the diamond settings elevate the overall sophistication—achieving a perfect equilibrium between decorative elegance and practical functionality. The hour and minute hands feature a slender profile, perfectly complementing the watch's overall compact and elegant aesthetic. Furthermore, the double-ring aperture of the moon phase display, the slender hands, and the bases of the diamond indices are all crafted from white 18K gold. The timepiece comes fitted with a blue alligator leather strap, though a stainless steel bracelet option is also available. Personally, however, I prefer the leather strap; compared to the steel bracelet, the leather strap lends the watch a softer visual appeal, offers a more contoured fit against the wrist, and imparts a lighter, more graceful overall character than its bracelet-equipped counterpart.

Powered by the Calibre 35-14 automatic mechanical movement. The Calibre 35 series is an automatic movement developed by Glashütte Original specifically for this compact moon-phase timepiece; it features a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, is fitted with 32 jewels, and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours. Furthermore, it utilizes a silicon balance spring and is equipped with a shock-resistant oscillation system—making it ideally suited for today's living environment, where electronic devices are ubiquitous.
