The Steel Case Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Replica Watch design – so perfect it has barely changed in two decades – echoes that of the virile, iconic Royal Oak, whose octagonal, stainless-steel facets so shook up the peaceful scene of classic, round, gold watches. However, the Royal Oak Offshore was even sturdier, sportier and more masculine. When it was first introduced in 1993, no one would have entertained the idea of a 42 mm watch in the early Nineties! But it proved to be a pioneer – it singlehandedly set the trend for uncompromising, oversized watches that has continued ever since.
An evolution of these groundbreaking timepieces, the new references are available in stainless steel or 18-carat pink gold, and are distinguished by a more technical, sculpted aesthetic, as is notably visible in the design of the pushpiece guards, the crown and the pushpieces. Black ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Replica Watch replaces rubber on the crown and pushpieces, which have been resized to create a more contemporary look.
Every dial is decorated with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Replica Watch distinctive, waffle-like ‘Méga Tapisserie’ pattern. The more sculpted and refined hour-markers lend an additional technical touch. Moreover, the new facetted hands with polished decorative fillets surrounding the hour markers, counters and date window, together with the use of a luminescent coating, make the dial more radiant and ensure enhanced readability of the time indications.
This year at Audemars Piguet, is the year of the Audemars Piguet Replica Watch – a watch that is still as innovative, forward-thinking and rebellious as when it burst onto the traditionally conservative luxury-watch scene in 1993. For 2014, six new iterations of the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 42mm are being launched, boasting a more technical, sculpted aesthetic as well as black ceramic pushpieces and crown. What is more, the new Royal Oak Offshore Diver, sculpted entirely in white ceramic and therefore virtually scratchproof.
