STILL ON TREND
Three Royal Oak Offshore pieces are sporting a camouflage design with blue, green, and brown ceramic bezels that casually adapt to any terrain.
Military fabrics make it possible to be practically invisible in any combat zone, on land or at sea. The desired effect when putting on the new Royal Oak Offshore launched during SIHH 2019 is however very different. The muscular chronographs by Audemars Piguet do not go unnoticed on the wrist. Although they feature the collection’s characteristic aesthetic codes, such as the “Mega tapisserie” pattern on the dial, the vertical positioning of the counters and the small seconds dial, and of course the octagonal bezel inspired by the Royal Oak designed by Gérald Genta, other decorative elements set them apart.
Two models have a 44 mm steel case, water resistant up to 100 m, decorated with a camouflage design. One opts for marine shades on the ceramic bezel, the screw-in crown and push buttons. The other has touches of khaki on the same components. Both come with a camo style strap in the corresponding shades. A third timepiece equipped with a rose gold case sports the colors of desert fatigues. Each piece also comes with an additional plain strap.
All the Royal Oak Offshore Camouflage pieces are powered by a self-winding movement with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Once wound, the caliber guarantees a power reserve of around 50 hours, the perfect amount of time to adapt to any occasion in our urban lives.
