Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26400AU.OO.A002CA.01 Forged Carbon Ceramic
First released in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore was designed to expand upon Audemars Piguet's ever-iconic Royal Oak collection as a sports-focused timepiece. Designed so that it could take some severe wear and tear while continuing to perform at the highest standards possible, the Royal Oak Offshore epitomized a luxury sports watch by all accounts. Featuring AP's artisanal craftsmanship, avant-garde design, and an impeccable taste for the horological, the Royal Oak Offshore was a true maverick amongst both; AP’s offerings and the entire industry. Nicknamed "The Beast" due to its larger-than-normal 42mm case, the imposingly thick o-ring beneath its octagonal bezel, and rubberized pushers, the Royal Oak Offshore flew in the face of luxury watchmaking in much the same way that the Royal Oak did in 1972. So, the Offshore continued AP's tradition in remaining ahead of the curve and arguably be attributed with beginning the hyper-watch trend that has evolved into the modern horological landscape.
THE DIAL Fitted with a black dial that boasts AP's signature ‘Méga Tapisserie’ design and blacked-out subdials, this Offshore's display is a perfect complement for its all-black construction.
THE CONSTRUCTION Made of forged carbon and boasting a black ceramic bezel, this Offshore is an intensely sleek timepiece. With its 44mm forged carbon case and ceramic bezel, not only does this piece look cool, it is hard-wearing, light and incredibly durable.
