Thinnest offshores?

Normally I hate thicker watches. To me, anything 13mm+ is considered thick.

With that said, I tried on an offshore recently and it definitely has an appeal. Thing looks like a beast, wears big but looks like it’s meant to wear big. I still would like it to be on the thinner side though. 13mm is acceptable.. maybe 13.5mm. 15mm is too much.

So what are the thinnest offshores AP has produced? Would love pics

I think this one is one of the slimmer : 15340ST.OO.D002CA.01

12.7mm from what I found. But there is a WEMPE logo on the dial...Otherwise the proportions are very very good in my opinion.

The 26480 titanium was 42mm and 12.8 mm thick, based on the newer movement in codes and roc.

Looks so much better (from the side) then the other 14mm divers. Wish they were all this thin.

Interesting. Didn't know that existed.

The 26480 has the old 2385 from the previous gen ROC (based on a F. Piguet 1185) - not the new 4401 in the current ROC and Code chronos.

I believe the “Scuba” three-hand Offshores (model 15701, which the current Diver model evolved from) are thinner. The scuba models don’t have an in-house movement though: it’s a JLC ebauche.

None of the movements are in-house though? Aren't they all FP?

My understanding is that the 3120 movement in the 15703 divers is in-house, made by AP, as are the next-gen movements in the current diver lineup. As far as I am aware most other offshores all now have in-house movements as well.

The F. Piguet movement is thinner. The previous generation ROC was thinner than the current generation for that reason.
