Royal Oak with screwed crown?

[doramas]

Forgive my ignorance. I know the Royal Oak 15300, 15400, 15450, 15500, 15202 are waterproof to 50m, but is the crown screwed on?

Think all screwed except 15202

Very easy to find out on your own by visiting the AP website, but here I'll do it for you .

15400...
CASE

Stainless steel case, glareproofed sapphire crystal and caseback, screw-locked crown

Screwed crown or not doesn’t change the WR rating.

Does it matter?

Yes. It gives me more security and confidence.

A watch that doesn't have a Screwed crown can be opened with a bump or something

When I owned the 15202 the most frustrating thing about the watch was I couldn’t get the crown to stay open when I wanted it to (date setting), actually largely responsible for my letting it go. If it is the 15202 you are considering, I Would expect that in the unlikely event the crown was accidentally pulled out, it would immediately be accidentally pushed back in.


If you appreciate the screwed crown that’s all good, I think they should be included on any automatic watch.

The AP website doesn't say anything about the 15450 having the Screwed crown. Can you confirm that?

Yes I owned this watch and it 100% has a screw down crown.
