Compare the black-dial 26400RO Offshore when the contrast between rose-tone case and black dial is the goal. This 26405NR works better when the dial should connect the case and bezel in a more gradual, smoked colour transition.
APF Edition is listed with a Clone Calibre 3126, a 44mm case, black zirconia ceramic bezel and natural-rubber strap. The smoked-brown dial is the element that gives this configuration its distinct place in the range.
Smoked brown is a significant change on an Offshore because it links the rose-gold-tone case and black ceramic bezel instead of treating them as opposing colours. The Mega Tapisserie texture keeps the dial from reading flat, and the chronograph registers stay distinct against the graduated-looking brown field.
The result is less stark than a black-dial rose-tone configuration. It works well for a collector who likes the large Offshore silhouette but wants a warmer piece that still wears as a rubber-strap sports chronograph. The black ceramic bezel adds enough contrast to keep the case architecture visible around the darker dial.
