Three New Additions to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

The Le Brassus-based watch manufacturer, known for producing timeless, exquisite timepieces, has just released new watches under the Royal Oak Offshore line. These new pieces include variations in the flyback chronograph and two new three-hand watches under the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding collection.

The Swiss watchmaker has been at the summit of luxury sports watchmaking since its introduction in 1875. The company has never shied away from using bold colors, non-traditional materials, and designs that are out of the ordinary. Intricate movements, crafted at the workshops in Le Brassus, are so well-engineered that they exude a personality of their own, an aura that only an Audemars Piguet timepiece can radiate.

These watches are no different, as they represent the very essence of Audemars Piguet.

Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph / 43 MM

This piece utilizes a 43mm stainless steel case, which is water resistant to 100 meters, with a clean steel bezel. It adorns a black ceramic crown and pushers. Featuring a smoked bronze Méga Tapisserie dial with darkened edges that extend to the black inner bezel, the whole concept of this dial was inspired by Habanos cigars. There is also a tachymeter scale, printed in white, for measuring distances.

In a similar fashion, the sub-dials located at 9, 6, and 3 o’clock enhance readability by mirroring the color of the ceramic and inner bezel. The elegant dial is then embellished with luminescent trapezoidal hour markers and hands in blackened gold. Additionally, between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions, there is a date window that is seamlessly integrated, providing both functionality and aesthetic without taking away from the overall harmony of the dial.

The watch is powered by the advanced 4401 automatic movement, which is a self-winding, integrated chronograph caliber known for its exceptional performance. This movement offers a substantial power reserve of up to 70 hours. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, it provides precise timekeeping. The movement is equipped with a sophisticated column-wheel mechanism and a vertical clutch system. Additionally, it features a flyback function, allowing the chronograph to be activated, stopped, and reset with a single press.

The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph / 43 MM is elegantly paired with a luxurious brown alligator leather strap, featuring a meticulously hand-finished Oxford patina that adds a refined, classic touch. For added versatility, the watch is equipped with an innovative interchangeable strap system. An additional black rubber strap is also provided for a sleek and sporty look.

The watch at retail is priced at $41,600.

Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding / 43 MM

While the automatic chronograph features rich dark earth tones, the latest version of the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding has a striking blue theme. Encased in a robust 43mm stainless steel case, this timepiece is water-resistant up to 100 meters. A blue rubber-coated bezel enhances the overall design, seamlessly blending with the case to create a unified appearance. This two-tone color scheme continues on the smoked blue Méga Tapisserie dial, which serves as an elegant canvas for the meticulously crafted trapezoidal hour-markers and Royal Oak hands, both fashioned from rhodium-plated gold. To ensure excellent visibility even in low-light conditions, these elements are treated with a luminescent coating.

Driving the watch is the sophisticated Audemars Piguet Caliber 4302, a testament to the brand's commitment to precision and reliability. This patented mechanism is designed to provide unparalleled accuracy and stability. The movement's 32mm diameter not only enhances its performance but also contributes to superior chronometry. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, the Caliber 4302 offers a precise sweep of the second hand. Additionally, it boasts an impressive power reserve of 70 hours.

The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding / 43 MM is secured with a color-coordinated rubber strap. Additionally, the watch includes an extra black rubber strap, offering versatility and allowing the wearer to switch to a more sporty appearance as desired.

The watch at retail is priced at $27,400.

Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding / 37 MM

Last but not least, Audemars Piguet introduces an exciting new version of the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding / 37 MM, which stands out as the most luxurious among the latest lineup. This exquisite timepiece is presented in a sumptuous pink gold case and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. Complementing its case, the watch features a gold bezel that is elegantly coated with gray rubber, emphasizing the sporty identity of the Royal Oak Offshore line of watches.

The Grande Tapisserie dial, rendered in elegant rhodium and ivory tones, features a polished finish that enhances these refined shades. The pink gold hour-markers and trapezoidal hands, treated with luminescent material, beautifully complement the dial’s color palette, ensuring both style and readability. Additionally, the gray inner bezel mirrors the design of the rubber-coated outer bezel and the mosaic rubber strap, creating a cohesive look that ties together the watch’s sophisticated and sporty elements.

Visible through the sapphire crystal on the case back, the watch is powered by Audemars Piguet's latest time-only plus date movement, introduced in 2022. This movement, the Caliber 5900, is impressively slim at just 3.9mm thick. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz, it ensures precise and reliable timekeeping. Lastly, it has a 60-hour power reserve, offering dependable performance.

This timepiece is fitted with a textured mosaic rubber strap. For added versatility, an additional black mosaic rubber strap is included.

This watch at retail is priced at $47,200.
