Just take a glance at the Replica Audemars Piguet Offshore Alinghi Team Limited Edition watch, and you might not feel quite well at the weather-beaten face. As a matter of fact, it took the brand two years to manufacture the splendid timepiece and it is demonstrated on forged carbon which Audemars Piguet spared long time researching and developing.

As is known to many, Audemars Piguet has strong bond with the world known Alinghi team and manufactures watches for its team members. To demonstrate the spirit of nautical sports, forged carbon, fancy materials are developed and used to create case. Forged carbon that is exceptional ethereal and of super anti-bump performance is adopted to take the place of carbon fibre. However, one disadvantage of this material is that it can not be polished and brushed. As a result, stainless steel mold of bezel and case are specially devised. A carbon clew tied by resin fibre is put into it. Every carbon thread is measured at a diameter of 1 or 2 mm and comprises thousands of carbon fibres that are measured at a diameter of 7mm. Forging under elevated temperature and high tension, every watch is prominent and unique.

To make it more suitable for sailing sports, a 10 minute countdown register is equipped at right upper part of the dial.
