perfect balance between high-
end aesthetics, functionality and
precision timekeeping.
TradiTion and innoVaTion
audemars Piguet has always striven to safeguard and
uphold its independence. this is why the company
developed its own method of crafting mechanisms,
particularly with the design of audemars Piguet
calibres. every aspect bears the unmistakable aP
signature – bridges arranged harmoniously side by
side, hand-finished and embellishments components –
and presents elegant equilibrium, further enhanced
by the angular balance cock.
The auTomaTic calibre
3120
calibre 3120 is a selfwinding movement. wrist
movements produce the energy required for it
to function.
this energy, harnessed by a 22 carat gold oscillating
weight, is transmitted to the mainspring by a
gear-train.
as it gradually winds around the barrel-arbor, the
spring accumulates energy that is then transmitted
to the watch movement at a steady rate.
the maximum power reserve is reached after a period
of time varying from several hours to several days,
depending on the owner and the amount of activity.
The case
a diving watch is a wrist watch that needs to be
accurate at depths of at least 100 metres. some
features specific to underwater timekeeping, such
as visibility and resistance to saltwater must also
be taken into account during the manufacturing
process. standard nihs 92-11 (iso 6425) regulates
the characteristics of diving watches.
the precision involved in the way the case is
manufactured allows for diving depths to
300 metres.
the internal rotating bezel makes it possible to
set and measure specific periods of time, such as
surfacing time and decompression stops.
