Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Arnold’s All-Stars Chronograph Watch

In tribute to the “After-School All-Stars” Foundation created by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Audemars Piguet has created the Royal Oak Offshore Arnold’s All-Stars Chronograph, a new addition to the ultra-sporty Royal Oak Offshore collection. This limited edition features an imposingly sized pink gold case, a design in tune with the collection codes, and has adopted the exclusive Audemars Piguet selfwinding movement, endowed for the occasion with chronograph functions.

The design codes

The Royal Oak Offshore Arnold’s All-Stars Chronograph picks up all the signature features of the Royal Oak Offshore collection:

• a “strongbox” case designed to protect the mechanism from any external stresses and strains;

• an octagonal bezel secured with hexagonal screws;

• a visible water-resistance seal between the bezel and the case;

• exclusive guilloché “Méga Tapisserie” dial motif;

• perfectly integrated case and bracelet.

The case dimensions are impressive: 48 mm in diameter.Water-resistance worthy of this luxury “extreme sports” watch.

Echoing the foundation logo, the caseback is engraved with the inscription Royal Oak Offshore Arnold’s All-Stars - Limited Edition. A discreet reminder that this exceptional series comprises just 350 watches.

Pink gold case and hands, brown dial, dark brown crocodile leather strap: warm and subtle colours sublimating rare and precious materials.

An exceptional chronograph

The Royal Oak Offshore Arnold’s All-Stars Chronograph houses the exclusive Audemars Piguet selfwinding Calibre 3126. This movement combines the qualities of sturdiness, reliability and rating precision:

• up to 60 hours’ power reserve thanks to a mainspring which, by supplying constant force over a longer time-span, ensures enhanced rating accuracy;

• a cross-through balance-cock reinforcing the reliability of the movement;

• a balance-stop mechanism serving to immobilise the seconds hand and thus enabling time-setting to the nearest second;

• a variable-inertia balance equipped with eight inertia-blocks enabling precise and stable adjustment;

• fast date correction with an integrated security system avoiding any risk of date disc blockage when the adjustment occurs at midnight;

• bidirectional automatic winding of the mainspring by means of a 22-carat gold rotor mounted on a ball-bearing mechanism. The traditional 3840 chronograph is integrated into this base calibre.

The “After-School All-Stars” Foundation

“Kids who have no place to go end up going nowhere. Kids with some place to go end up going places.” Such is the motto of the “After-School All-Stars” Foundation which, under the aegis of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a longstanding friend of the Manufacture, offers extra-curricular activities for middle-school children. The aim is to provide pro-active support for 7- to 14-year-olds who, particularly in underprivileged circles, are often left to their own devices after school, and thus to help them resist violence, gangs and drugs.

Help with homework and tutoring, games combining leisure and learning opportunities, personal enrichment programmes: all these activities target well-defined goals. These include getting organised with schoolwork and acquiring independent learning skills, a fun-oriented approach to literature, maths and science, developing personal talents as well as anger management, conflict resolution and money management. In a nutshell, nurturing the self-confidence of these young citizens and encouraging their successes, whether in the family, at school or in society.
