Chroma Forged Technology is used in the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date watch. The new CFT forged carbon material combines lightness with outstanding resistance to impact, heat and humidity. It was independently developed by the brand's R&D team over a five-year period and has applied for patent protection for its manufacturing process.
Unlike previous generations of carbon materials, Audemars Piguet Chroma Forged Technology (CFT) can directly color carbon fiber instead of resin, and can arrange carbon fiber in the manufactured parts as needed, thus opening up new creative possibilities. Moreover, because its resin content is lower than that of traditional forged carbon, it is not easily scratched.
The middle structure of the ultra-light case is made of CFT forged carbon material, which contains blue luminous fibers to add to the aesthetic creativity of the watch, and is matched with a satin-brushed and polished black ceramic bezel. These delicate and sophisticated finishes can also be seen on the black ceramic crown, bottom and buttons. The case and crown are slightly curved to fit the lines of the wrist. The push-button bridges at 2, 4 and 9 o'clock are made of contrasting titanium, echoing the light-colored parts of the skeletonized dial.

The skeletonized dial resembles the movement bridge and is the result of precision machining. The circular window is cut from a single piece of nickel silver plate and coated with black PVD, which contrasts with the diamond-polished rhodium-colored chamfers, allowing a glimpse of the complex and delicate micro-mechanical structure inside. The two-tone design adds depth and light and shadow to this avant-garde timepiece, and the lack of a brand logo on the dial further enhances the visual effect.
The inner bezel and the outer area of the three chronograph sub-dials are decorated with electric blue tones, echoing the blue details in the middle of the case, and contrasting with the gray and black tones of the movement, while also improving the legibility of the time. The white gold hour markers and hands and the hands of the chronograph sub-dials are all covered with fluorescent materials, white during the day and blue at night, fully demonstrating the futuristic style. The tachymeter and chronograph sub-dials on the inner bezel use white transfer-printed scales for greater clarity and readability.
