Royal Oak Offshore Diver in Khaki

Of course, the Royal Oak bezel with exposed screws is also an integral part of the design. In addition, a khaki green sealing ring peeks out from under the bezel.
On the dial with a “Méga Tapisserie” motif in khaki green, indexes and hands in 18-carat rose gold indicate the time. They are also coated with luminescent material for optimal readability. The diving scale on the inner black rotating bezel has a 15-minute zone in beige and Arabic numerals in the same shade. The rubber strap in khaki green picks up the colour of the dial. A black rubber strap is also included.

The movement
Audemars Piguet equips the Offshore Diver with its new in-house 4308 calibre. It has automatic winding and a power reserve of 60 hours. It also offers a date function with quick setting. In addition, a patented mechanism ensures greater stability and precision when setting the watch. The crown at 10 o’clock uses a uni-directional click mechanism to move the diving scale on the inner rotating ring of the dial.
The decorated calibre can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback. The model-specific blackened oscillating weight in 22-carat rose gold sits on the movement, which is decorated with Geneva stripes, circular graining, as well as bevelled edges.
