This new Royal Oak model will be for 2014 and will be first presented at SIHH 2014. It uses the AP caliber 2930 which is 15.75''' in diameter and is 9.9mm thick. Despite being so thin it has an impressive 10-day power reserve, quite an accomplishment. It beats at 21,600BPH with a tourbillon comprised of 85 components. The small hand at 6 o'clock shows you what position you have the crown in (neutral, winding, time setting). All 291 pieces are all meticulously hand finished. The case is made of titanium and their special "Alacrite 602". The ceramic used on the crown, pusher, bezel and hourglass-shaped bridge is nine times harder than steel. The watch is 44mm in diameter and was put on a white rubber strap with a titanium buckle. The 24-hour GMT display, day/night display and 10-day power reserve combine to make a fantastic watch.
