Royal Oak OffShore 26040 Alinghi Polaris

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

26040ST.OO.D002CA.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition. Introduced in 2005.

Self-winding movement with flyback chronograph & regatta timer. Based on JLC 896; designed for the Alinghi Polaris.
