About this subject

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver is a high-end diving watch launched in 2010 as an extension of the legendary Royal Oak Offshore line, created in 1993. Featuring a 42mm case in stainless steel or titanium, its most striking characteristic is the octagonal bezel with exposed screws, inherited from the original 1972 design by Gérald Genta. Water resistance is 300 meters, ensured by a screw-down crown and caseback. The movement is the automatic caliber 3120/3126 with a 60-hour power reserve and COSC chronometer certification. The dial features the 'Méga Tapisserie' pattern typical of the Offshore collection, with details like luminous hands, dive indicators, an internal rotating bezel controlled by a second crown at 10 o'clock. Unlike other dive watches, the Offshore Diver maintains a sporty and luxurious aesthetic, worn by divers and design enthusiasts alike. Special editions, such as collaborations with Ferrari, increase its collectability. The strap is typically rubber or integrated steel, offering comfort and elegance.
