The APSF V2 Free-Sprung Royal Oak Chronograph 26240 Black Dial is a modern luxury sports chronograph that blends exceptional engineering with timeless Royal Oak styling. Featuring APSF's upgraded V2 platform and free-sprung movement, this reference offers enhanced mechanical authenticity while preserving the unmistakable design that has made the Royal Oak Chronograph one of the world's most recognizable timepieces.
Crafted from stainless steel with a 41mm case size, the watch offers exceptional wrist presence while maintaining excellent comfort for everyday wear. The signature octagonal bezel, secured by exposed hexagonal screws, is complemented by beautifully executed satin brushing and mirror-polished bevels that showcase the meticulous finishing synonymous with the Royal Oak collection.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its striking black Grande Tapisserie dial. The finely machined textured pattern creates remarkable depth while the dial shifts subtly between jet black, charcoal, and graphite depending on the lighting. Three recessed chronograph subdials provide excellent legibility while maintaining the balanced symmetry of the 26240 design. Applied white gold-style hour markers and luminous Royal Oak hands complete the sophisticated appearance.
Powering the watch is the APSF V2 SA4401 Free-Sprung Super Clone Automatic Chronograph Movement. Designed to closely replicate the architecture and functionality of the genuine AP Calibre 4401, the movement features automatic winding, a column-wheel chronograph, flyback chronograph functionality, hacking seconds, quick-set date, and a free-sprung balance for a more authentic appearance and improved regulation. Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement showcases beautifully decorated bridges and refined finishing that closely mirror the genuine calibre.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet completes the watch with exceptional comfort and flexibility. Its alternating brushed and polished surfaces flow seamlessly into the case, creating the elegant integrated profile that has defined the Royal Oak since its introduction.
APSF has established itself as one of the benchmark factories for modern Royal Oak Chronograph models thanks to its exceptional case finishing, dial execution, crystal quality, and advanced free-sprung movement architecture. The V2 Free-Sprung Black Dial version remains one of the most desirable configurations in the collection.
