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 black rotating bezel with diving scale has white numerals and a white 15-minute zone. The dial is decorated with a galvanised AP logo in gold, which takes the place of the full signature.

Royal Oak Offshore Diver in Grey
Meanwhile, the grey variant underlines the elegant side of the watch. Accordingly, the two crowns are made of grey ceramic and thus complement the colour scheme. Under the octagonal bezel, a contrasting blue gasket ring stands out.
The dial is in a matt grey tone. The white gold hour markers and hands are also luminous. The rotating bezel is blue and has a white 15-minute zone and white numerals. In addition to the grey rubber strap on which this watch is presented, the manufacture includes a black strap.
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.
