Audemars Piguet has added a new model to its Royal Oak Offshore collection, further expanding its line of chronographs. The latest addition is the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph 43 mm, reference 26420S.OO.A828CR.01. This model is distinguished by its refined design, which draws inspiration from the deep, rich tones of Habanos cigars.

The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph stands out with a smoked bronze dial that transitions into darker edges. This subtle gradient is complemented by a black inner bezel, creating a striking contrast where the white tachymeter scale is prominently displayed. The dial is adorned with the brand’s signature Méga Tapisserie motif, a hallmark of the Royal Oak series. The intricate texture adds depth and character to the timepiece, making it instantly recognizable.
The watch’s counters are positioned at 9, 6, and 3 o’clock, seamlessly blending with the black inner bezel. These elements, along with the crown and push-pieces, are crafted from durable ceramic, ensuring both aesthetics and functionality are maintained over time. The hour markers and Royal Oak hands are crafted from blackened gold and filled with luminescent material. This feature ensures that the time is easily readable even in low-light conditions, maintaining the practicality that Audemars Piguet timepieces are known for.

The timepiece is housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 14.4 mm. ...
