The highly anticipated watch we’ve been waiting for is finally here. Currently, only the stainless steel and black ceramic models are available. APS Factory has produced many popular replica watches over the years, and I believe the AP 26240 will become another bestseller in 2025.
When it comes to Audemars Piguet, super clones are not hard to find. The Royal Oak 15400 and 15500 are some of the best-made AP replicas and are very popular. However, for AP enthusiasts seeking chrono models, the 26331 from OM has functional defects. Meanwhile, the AP Royal Oak Offshore Sec@12 models have seen a decline in popularity since the J12 Factory closed. That’s why it’s crucial for AP fans to find a new flagship chrono model in the AP Royal Oak Offshore collection, and I hope the 26240 from APS can fulfill that role.
At the moment, there are four stainless steel replica Audemars Piguet 26240 models available, each with a different dial color: black, white, green, and blue. When including the black ceramic model, this brings the total to five variations of the replica. The case size is 41mm, and I measured the thickness at approximately 12.68mm. The stainless steel replica weighs around 170.8g, while the ceramic version is slightly lighter at 162.6g.
The replica watch is powered by the super clone 4401 movement. Its chronograph function is different from that of the Daytona. To start the chronograph, press the button at 2 o’clock, and the central second hand will begin moving. Press the button at 4 o’clock, and the hand will reset to zero without stopping, then begin moving again. To stop the central second hand, press the 2 o’clock button again, and it will stop immediately. Press the 4 o’clock button to reset it to zero, and it will remain still. This is the real flyback chrono function. The rose gold replica model is expected to be released soon.
