Catalogue Essay
Bold, blatant and blazingly beguiling, the present Royal Oak Offshore, fitted with a flashy yellow Mega-Tapisserie patterned dial, is as refreshing as a summertime retreat. Housed in a beautifully crafted 42-mm. stainless steel case with sapphire crystal transparent caseback, the timepiece contains a self-winding caliber 3124/3841 with an impressive power reserve of 50 hours. Comprised of 364 parts, the caliber, as seen through the open caseback, is meticulously engineered with precision.
Featuring black ceramic pushpieces and screw-locked crowns, the watch is water-resistant to 300 meters. The dial looks remarkably distinctive featuring large hands with SuperLuminova coatings and raised accents in the form of square patterns. The hour markers are intact and easily legible – a critical characteristic for a diver’s chronograph. The inner rotating bezel looks exceptionally striking with 8 screws that seem to heighten the watch’s robust presence. The present watch is a daring timepiece created for daring collectors.
