Even though today’s Arnold is an outstanding political figure, fans still remember his image of indomitable tough guy in the film. Whether it’s Conan the Barbarian, a mechanical killer in Terminator, or a construction worker in a whimsical world in Total Recall, it has become a classic Hollywood legend.

Powerful faction with the details
Royal Oak Offshore combines the advantages of innovative materials and precious materials, and is decorated with exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting Audemars Piguet’s meticulous care for every detail. The exquisite design also makes this series of watches a beautiful showcase of excellent watchmaking technology.
In order to make the Royal Oak offshore Arnold commemorative watch, Audemars Piguet’s watch factory for the first time uses a case ring and bezel made entirely of black ceramic. Although ceramic materials are commonplace in the watch industry today, there are only a handful of watch factories that truly polish them. Extremely hard ceramics must use diamond powder as an abrasive, and use a grinding wheel to polish the ceramic surface with the same delicate decoration as stainless steel. This requires time-consuming and time-consuming, repeated polishing, and its hard and time-consuming analogy is ‘iron pestle grinding into embroidery needles’. Diamond-polished ceramics create contrast and reflect the beautiful luster unique to high-tech materials. The straight matte finish of the case’s middle ring is contrasted with the sandblasted matte finish of the upper and lower recesses of the case, which not only makes the lugs exceptionally outstanding, but also creates a three-dimensional impression. The ceramic bezel is polished with a straight grained matte finish, which contrasts with the bright polished finish of the inclined surface.
The sandblasted and matte-treated titanium has an anthracite color, which together with black ceramics create a harmonious aesthetic. The parts made of titanium include screws for fixing the octagonal bezel, button guards, decorative accessories on the left side of the case, case back and standard buckle.
Rose gold adds a gorgeous touch to the watch. The digital hour markers on the dial and the hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock are made of rose gold with polished diamonds; the top of the rose gold button is decorated with a non-slip ‘Tapisserie’ , Echoes the classic checkered decoration of the Royal Oak offshore type. The crown is decorated with rose gold. In terms of complex shapes, what is particularly noticeable is the double-layered button bridge: the first layer is covered with rubber, the second layer is made of titanium with sandblasted and matte surface, and fixed with an exposed screw .
The left side of the case has the same decorative accessories as other Royal Oak offshore models, showing its sporty style. With an anthracite-colored artificial fiber (aramid) woven strap for a more technical sense.
The movement inside the case is not idle: the self-winding movement with manual assembly and precision decoration is equipped with a chronograph with excellent performance, which can time high-speed and amazing power sports such as the 100-meter race. The Royal Oak offshore Arnold heritage watch has a 48mm oversized case and a strong appearance. It is equipped with a precise chronograph movement inside and outside.
