What Sets the Offshore Apart

Size is the obvious difference. Where the standard Royal Oak tops out at 41mm, the Offshore starts at 42mm and goes up to 44mm on diver references. But it is more than just a bigger watch. The crown guards flanking the winding crown give the case a muscular look that the regular Royal Oak intentionally avoids. And the dial uses Mega Tapisserie — a larger version of the grid pattern that reads bolder at arm's length.

Our top sellers are the 26470ST chronograph in steel with a blue or black dial, and the 26405CE in black ceramic. The ceramic version turns heads — the matte black case absorbs light instead of reflecting it. For diving, the 15710ST gives you a 300m depth rating with a rotating inner bezel and luminous hands. All Offshore models run automatic movements with 40-50 hour power reserves.

The thing about the Offshore is that it works with rubber straps just as well as steel bracelets. Actually, most people prefer the rubber — it keeps the weight down and fits the sporty character better. Browse our standard Royal Oak range if you prefer something more refined. And we carry iced out versions of several Offshore references with full diamond bezels and bustdown cases.
