The Royal Oak Chronograph features an impressive 41mm case and a chronograph that boasts high design and practicality.

The "AP" logo at 12 o'clock on the dial has been removed from the previous model, and the dial and sub-dials are in the same color scheme, giving this watch a clean, streamlined look. Although it has a rugged 41mm size, the brand's unique bracelet structure makes it extremely comfortable to wear. It's just the right size for Webster, who is tall and stocky, and adds an accent to his casual outfit.
