I though that our previous articles (part 1 and part 2) about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 (Jumbo) versus 15300 were quite explanatory, but it seems that I might be wrong about that. It also might have to do with the fact that AP recently introduced the new version of the 15202 (click here) with some minor changes in the design that revert to the original 5402 of the 1970s.
The author’s 15202.
Furthermore, a successor for the 15300 has been announced already as well, same goes for the Royal Oak Chronograph edition (26300 becomes 26320). In these cases, the case diameter grew from 39mm to 41mm and the wording on the dial has been blown up as well. Not sure whether this is something I like.
Anyway, let’s keep it at 15300 versus 15202. The picture above clearly shows the 15202, former edition, with framed date aperture, AP logo at 12 o’clock and Arabic numerals for the minute markers. This is the version that is still relatively easy to get, where the models before the 15202 and the successor of the pictured 15202 are either hard to get or very expensive. Or just both. The version above will set you back approximately 9500 EUR. The 15300 can be had for less, starting at approximately 6800 EUR (used Chrono24.com to do a price look-up).
The author’s 15300.
Our friends at The Prodigal Guide did an interesting write-up. Both editors of The Prodigal Guide are planning to purchase either a 15202, 15300 or 26120 (Dual Time) in the next 12 months. We’ve have to talk them out of the Dual Time of course, and narrow their short-list down to the Jumbo and the 15300. Give them a helping hand by replying to their article ‘A tale of three Royal Oaks: the Audemars Piguet challenge‘.

Back in 2009 we introduced you to Biel based manufacture Armin Strom, a 16 person operation making and finishing some properly impressive calibers. Today the company boasts 18 people and their involvement with racing sports such as F1 and Extreme Sailing has yielded some timepieces bespoke with components straight out of the competitive machines themselves. This year at Basel, Armin Strom is introducing the Racing Carbon to celebrate this involvement.
The Racing Carbon’s carbon inlays along the levels of brass bridges and plates. The composite’s strategic use within the dial creates a depth of contrast against the revealed twin mainspring barrels and gear train. The carbon is uncoated and raw, leaving it with a matte appearance and keeping it in its lightest state. A plate of carbon is found in back as well, covering a portion of the caliber ARM12 but leaving the balance and escapement exposed.
The dial cutaways reveal just enough to create an interaction with the wearer, without sacrificing legibility or functionality. As you wind the watch, the barrels and gears begin their easily observable dance right before your eyes. Those two barrels also provide a stout 7 day power reserve which comes in handy as the watch is a hand wind.
