What has always appealed to me about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is its indisputable masculinity and distinctive design. The octagon shape and the screws on the bezel add to the strength of its incredibly strong solid look.

The textured blue dial looks great with the stainless steel. Of course we all know that Audemar’s precision and attention to detail are legendary. This Royal Oak Dual Time has a sub dial for the second time zone, but it is a 12-hour, so you have the added bonus of a day/night indicator!

The power reserve is fun and useful, there’s no guesswork or worry about the watch running down on power.

Specs: automatic movement, second time zone on sub dial, day/night indicator, date sub dial, power reserve indicator, water resistant to 50 meters. This watch goes easily from the boardroom to the beach. And when you’re traveling, you’ll know when to phone home.
