The APS V2 26579CB black ceramic watch comes with several detail upgrades from the manufacturer. This model is extremely hard to source from the official market, so it’s understandable for watch enthusiasts to opt for a replica to satisfy their love for the timepiece.
The case features a newly designed one-piece full ceramic construction with permanent colour retention. The metal inner case has been removed for an enhanced tactile feel. The five lateral pushers have been upgraded to the same hexagonal design found on the genuine watch, complementing the case’s iconic octagonal shape.
The upgraded crown is a one-piece all-ceramic design. Unlike the electroplating process used in the V1 iteration, it features deep-engraved logos that will never fade.
Newly upgraded CNC 3D engraving replicates the strict craftsmanship standards of the original watch. This creates more raised lettering and deeper serial numbers, greatly boosting overall texture.
The bezel uses imported silicon carbide with repeated brushing polishing for an ultra-fine finish and improved tactile quality.
The ceramic clasp has been redesigned, with its logo crafted using deep 3D engraving for greater depth and premium feel.
The new screws are made of 316L stainless steel with full-surface polishing and reinforced thread design, fixing the common V1 issue of loose or falling-out screws.
Enhance the movement sealing and boost water resistance, with the metal inner case eliminated.
The V2 version is upgraded with an integrated all-ceramic crown, a feature that easily distinguishes it from the older edition.
The pushers have been upgraded to a hexagonal shape matching the original, striving for ultimate attention to detail.
Engravings of “QUANTIÈME PERPÉTUEL” and “ROYAL OAK” are more three‑dimensional for enhanced recognizability!
The new version’s bezel features a bolder, more prominent grain brushing finish.
It adopts the same design as the original, featuring a three-piece mid-case structure.
The waterproof gasket uses imported rubber material to resist aging and extend service life. It fits snugly against the mid-case and case back, further improving water resistance.
After the upgrade, the “AP” logo on the bracelet is deepened for sharp, three-dimensional definition.
Summary: At first, I thought APS Factory was just a casual newcomer aiming to make quick profits and exit the market. But it has gradually evolved into a manufacturer capable of independently developing many exclusive movements. Beyond Audemars Piguet models, its product portfolio covers Longines, Hublot and more. Its movements boast distinctive features with impressive technical merit, outperforming established factories such as JF. Compared with ZF, APS offers better value for money and higher fidelity to genuine watches. This manufacturer is truly worth recommending!
