Royal Oak Offshore Diver.. The timepiece that will make you sink.



The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is the modern interpretation of Audemars Piguet sport watches. With a beefy mega diver's case it is also described as the first watch in 39 years to come from AP featuring a double-hash mark at 12 o'clock. Subconsciously.. reminding us of the original Jumbo.





Launched in 2012, and coming in a forged carbon case which is defined as the ultimate luxury dive watch in the world from a finish/materials stand-point, AP comes up with another iteration of the Diver, in matte black ceramic.
Those who never really understood why AP in matte black finish are relevant, now you will know. Simply, 1. Forged Carbon is expensive material that AP pioneered and lots of competitors tried to follow... it is a trend setting phenomenon  2. With titanium housing and a rare sapphire back case you can now dive to depth's rates of 300m. 3. Diversity in pricing for the same model with Ceramic Diver retailing at US$21,000 while the Forged Carbon is in the US$30,000 bracket.
