Description
APSF Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 43mm ��Taupe�� 26420
A masterclass in modern sports horology, featuring the groundbreaking Calibre 4401 super clone and a genuine-matching 14.0mm profile.
Powered by Calibre 4401 Super Clone
The APSF Calibre 4401 represents a paradigm shift from traditional modified 7750 base movements. By engineering a custom architecture, the factory achieves the correct sub-dial placement without the need for thick transfer plates. The movement features meticulously applied vertical brush finishing on the bridges and a skeletonized rotor that closely mimics the genuine article��s visual depth. Regulation is handled via a standard balance wheel setup, offering reliable daily performance for a mechanical chronograph.
�� Accuracy Profile:
Rated at 卤15 seconds per day. A deviation within this range is considered normal for complex clone chronograph movements.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Hours, minutes, small seconds at 6 o��clock, date display, and fully functional chronograph
- �� Winding Direction: Bidirectional
Technical Specifications
THE BUILD316L Stainless Steel

THE DIALTaupe Mega Tapisserie
Features a highly accurate taupe base with deep, cleanly stamped mega tapisserie squares. Sub-dials are recessed with correct concentric snailing, and hour markers are filled with uniform luminescent compound.
THE BEZELBlack Ceramic
Machined from solid black ceramic with a pronounced vertical brush finish on the top surface. The polished outer bevels contrast starkly, secured by eight recessed hexagonal white gold-plated screws.
THE BRACELETTaupe Rubber Strap
Supple and durable, integrating seamlessly into the aggressive lugs. Fastened by a 316L stainless steel pin buckle with deep, crisp AP engraving.
Why APSF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not ZF?��
While ZF produces excellent Royal Oak variants, APSF holds a distinct advantage in the 43mm Offshore category due to their mastery of the Calibre 4401 architecture. This dedicated movement allows APSF to achieve the crucial 14.0mm case thickness, whereas older or alternative factory builds often exceed 15.5mm due to modular chronograph plates. The integration of the strap and the alternating brushed/polished finishing on the case flanks are also marginally superior on the APSF.
Full Disclosure: The ceramic ball bearings in the APSF rotor can be slightly audible during rapid wrist movements, a common characteristic of clone automatic chronographs.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the APSF Calibre 4401 have a functional chronograph like the genuine?
A: Yes, the Calibre 4401 super clone features a fully functional chronograph with correct sub-dial spacing at 3, 6, and 9 o��clock, mirroring the genuine mechanism.
Q: How does the 14.0mm thickness compare to older Royal Oak Offshore replicas?
A: Older replicas relied on modified 7750 movements, resulting in bulky cases often exceeding 15.5mm. The APSF custom 4401 architecture achieves the exact 14.0mm profile of the genuine 26420.
Q: Is the ceramic bezel prone to scratching?
A: The black ceramic bezel is highly scratch-resistant and features genuine-spec vertical brushed finishing. However, like all ceramic components, it can chip or shatter if subjected to heavy blunt impact.
Q: What is the main known flaw of this APSF 26420 release?
A: The ceramic ball bearings in the rotor mechanism can be slightly audible in quiet environments during rapid wrist movements. This is a common trait in clone movements that is often mitigated by a light application of Moebius 9010 oil by a watchsmith.
