BBS Factory Edition — Integrated 316L Steel Bracelet
BBS Factory’s iteration of the Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon 26730ST distinguishes itself through its functional tourbillon cage and a highly specific smoked burgundy dial gradient. While other iterations struggle with the sunburst effect on red tones, BBSF achieves a credible radial shift from a vivid center to a darkened periphery.
Powered by a custom-developed Clone AP Calibre 2950, this mechanism features a true 60-second automatic flying tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position. Unlike faux-tourbillon open-heart movements, this architecture correctly omits the upper bridge, allowing unobstructed viewing of the escapement. Power reserve is approximately 36 hours.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case measures 41mm in diameter with a 12.4mm thickness, balancing substantial wrist presence with the classic octagonal silhouette. The integrated bracelet showcases brushed/polished alternating finishing that closely mimics the light play of the genuine article, framing the intricate smoked burgundy dial.
