Introducing Two New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Models

Audemars Piguet continues to celebrate its 150th anniversary with two new ceramic chronograph additions to its Royal Oak Offshore collection. Originally launched in 1993 as a bigger, more robust version of the iconic Royal Oak, the Offshore line quickly became AP's favorite testing ground for new materials.

The new releases include a 43 mm Chronograph with green accents and a 42 mm all-black ceramic edition, each showcasing Audemars Piguet’s expertise in ceramic craftsmanship. The 43 mm Chronograph pairs a black ceramic case with vibrant green ceramic accents on the bezel, crown, and pushers. It measures 14.4 mm in thickness and has a titanium caseback that ensures 100 meters of water resistance.

On the other hand, the 42 mm all-black ceramic edition takes a stealthy approach, featuring an entirely black ceramic case complemented by steel hexagonal screws. This case has a thickness of 15.3 mm and the same 100-meter water resistance.

The 43 mm Chronograph features a dark green PVD dial adorned with the Méga Tapisserie pattern, paired with a black inner bezel and a 12-hour counter at 3 o’clock, small seconds at 6, and a 30-minute chronograph at 9 o’clock. The luminescent hands and indices are crafted from white gold. In contrast, the 42 mm all-black ceramic edition maintains its monochrome theme with a black PVD dial and a black inner bezel; however, the counters remain in the same position, with the 12-hour counter shifting to the 12 o’clock position. The blackened 18-carat white gold hands and indices filled with luminescent material enhance readability. Both models feature date windows placed at 4:30 or 3 o’clock without compromising the overall aesthetic.

Underneath these bold exteriors are high-performance movements that uphold Audemars Piguet’s legacy of precision. The 43 mm Chronograph is powered by the Calibre 4401, an automatic movement featuring a flyback chronograph function. Meanwhile, the 42 mm all-black ceramic edition is equipped with the Calibre 4404, which mirrors the functionalities of the 4401 but is tailored to the 42 mm case design. Both calibers operate at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offer an impressive power reserve of 70 hours. The 43 mm model also showcases a 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight in dark grey, visible through the sapphire caseback.

The 43 mm Chronograph comes with a dark green textured calfskin leather strap secured by a titanium pin buckle, along with an additional black rubber strap. In line with its monochrome theme, the 42 mm all-black ceramic edition features a black ceramic bracelet with a three-blade folding clasp in titanium. The green chronograph is priced at EUR 58,200, approximately AED 224,500, while the black edition is offered at EUR 85,900 approximately AED 331,300.
