New 44mm in Ceramic?

I was chatting with a boutique in Europe and they mentioned receiving a novelty 44mm offshore in ceramic next month. Any word on this from elsewhere?

I believe there are a couple coming and I think that there may be a 42mm ROO ceramic in the mix as well.

However, what I think I know, and what I actually know don't necessarily converge...especially in these strange times.

Love this combo so not sure how, maybe a Panda subdial construction would be slightly more interesting.

tell us more...

Is the strap rubber or fabric? It looks cool though.

Other than the new colour scheme and numbers for the dial, what's not obvious from the pictures?

Thanks for posting.

Looks like black ceramic with colored ceramic bezels. Not feeling the widened 42 numerals

I'd heard about the strap design change and am pleasantly surprised, as long as its rubber.

The green does look like it could be a ceramic case, but the blue looks lighter, more steel like, although I'm sure they are both the same.

I too am not keen of the numerals, but I do like the gradient colour change.

Let's wait for the release, I'm sure its coming soon.

Just visit a local AP Boutique today and saw it in person (Sorry photo is not allowed during the show)

The strap is rubber with pattern. Case is black ceramic, bezel is also ceramic with blue/green colour. The price is the same as the 26405CG.OO.A004CA.01

There is one more model with black ceramic case with rose gold bezel.

Those look awesome with the two colored ceramic, gradient dial and textured rubber strap but I say those numbers are a big miss. Hopefully it looks better in future photos or in real life.

Definitely digging the textured straps, especially if they're available in additional colors.
Jury is still out for me on these two. Would be interested in seeing the gradient dial and arabics on a steel model for comparison.

Numbers are very wide, bit cartoonish, should have kept them in the proportion of the 42s. Straps look cool.

I like it. Reminds me of a little throw back to the limited edition offshores.

My initial feelings as well....I will say that AP's designs tend to look better in person. I am reserving final judgement until multiple photos are available or until I am able to see it in person.

hum..... not sure about the overall color combinations with the #s on the dial, but the strap texture looks amazing.

New 44mm in Ceramic?

Not feeling it. Feels like the 42 and 44 siblings had a drunk episode and had an inbred bastard child. It’s too streetwear hypebeast for me but maybe that is the target audience....

I have an appointment at the HK boutique to see it tomorrow so will give in person impressions later...

If you get the chance, find out if they're offering those textured straps in different colors.

Thanks!
