A NEW ROYAL OAKOFFSHORE DIVER GEARED
FOR ADVENTURES
2
Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars
Piguet releases three new 42 mm Royal Oak
Offshore Divers in stainless steel. Powered by a
new movement, Calibre 4308, these models are fit
for the wildest adventures in and out of the water.
These three watches in khaki, blue or grey sport a
new dial aesthetics as well as a new interchangeable
strap system to style up your dive.
The three new Royal Oak Offshore Diver models are
powered by a new automatic movement with second
and instant-jump date indication. Calibre 4308 is
equipped with a patented setting mechanism that
brings stability and precision when adjusting the
watch’s function. Its diving scale featured on the dial’s
inner rotating ring is activated with a unidirectional
click mechanism linked to the 10 o’clock crown. The
watch’s sapphire caseback reveals Calibre 4308’s
refined finishing techniques, such as “Côtes de
Genève,” “traits tirés” and circular graining, as well as
a new dedicated oscillating weight in blackened
22-carat pink gold.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is fit for underwater
exploration up to a depth of 300 metres as well as for
any above-ground outdoors adventures. Thanks to its
60 hours of power reserve, the watch can easily adapt
to a few days rest between expeditions.
MECHANISM FITFOR ACTION
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is powered by the new in-house selfwinding movement, Calibre 4308. Its new dedicated oscillating weight in blackened 22-carat pink gold presents refined decorations such as sandblasting and satin-brushing.

With the release of the new Royal Oak Offshore Diver,
the Manufacture launches an innovative interchange-
able strap system for the latest additions to the
Royal Oak Offshore collection. The ease and efficiency
of the new system will allow clients to change the straps
and buckles of their new timepieces themselves with
a quick click and release.
Rubber straps in hues of green, blue, grey and black
are available for the new Diver models, as well as three
calfskin leather straps in beige, brown and black for
more adventures on dry land.
SPORTYINTERCHANGEABLE STRAPS
The latest Royal Oak Offshore Diver is equipped with the Manufacture’s new interchangeable strap system which allows the wearer to change strap with a quick click and release. The interchangeability system has been directly integrated into the case’s studs and buckle, leaving the watch’s aesthetics unaltered.

The new Royal Oak Offshore Diver in khaki, blue or
grey presents new facetted hour-markers, cut in two
distinct sizes for improved legibility. Long hour-markers
indicate the quarter hours (to the exception of the
15-minute mark replaced by the date window), while
shorter square hour-markers are used to mark out the
5-minute increments. The luminescent coating on
the gold hour-markers and Royal Oak hands grant
optimum visibility in the dark. The three models also
feature a larger applied gold AP logo replacing the
traditional long-form signature.
OPTIMUM VISIBILITY DEEP DOWN
The grey version combines a stainless steel case, finished with satin-brushing and polished surfaces, with a grey “Méga-Tapisserie” dial enhanced with a blue rotating diving scale, a white 15-minute zone and white gold hour-markers and hands.

The blue shade of the Royal Oak Offshore’s “Méga-Tapisserie” dial is enriched with redesigned 18-carat white gold hour-markers and assertive hands – all endowed with luminescent coating for optimum visibility in the dark.
6
The black ceramic crowns echo the rotating diving scale surrounding the khaki “Méga-Tapisserie” dial. The beige 15-minute zone and the 18-carat pink gold hour-markers and hands provide a powerful contrast on this model fit for trailblazing adventures.
7
The stainless steel case of the khaki model is complemented with
two crowns, at 3 and 10 o’clock, crafted in black ceramic. Hand-
finished with an alternation of satin-brushed and polished surfaces,
the case offers a refined frame to the khaki “Méga-Tapisserie” dial
adorned with 18-carat pink gold hour-markers and hands. The
black rotating diving scale ring is complemented with a beige
15-minute zone as well as beige Arabic numerals. The gasket in
khaki green hues visible under the octagonal bezel adds a sporty
touch. The watch’s original khaki strap, fit for the wildest outdoors
adventures, is accompanied by an additional black rubber strap.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver in navy blue reflects the watch’s
subaquatic function. Its “Méga-Tapisserie” motif is enriched with
18-carat white gold hour-markers and hands, all adorned with lumi-
nescent coating. The black rotating diving scale ring is similarly
enhanced by white Arabic numerals and a white 15-minute zone.
This contrast is enhanced by the stainless steel case, comple-
mented with two black ceramic crowns, all finished by hand with
satin-brushing and polished chamfers. The visible blue gasket and
interchangeable blue rubber strap further the watch’s marine aes-
thetics. The watch also comes with an additional black rubber strap.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver in shades of grey brings a touch of
timeless elegance to this sporty model. The two crowns in grey
ceramic, completing the stainless steel case, match with the
grey hues of the “Méga-Tapisserie” dial and colour-coordinated
interchangeable strap. Luminescent white gold hour-markers and
hands illuminate the dial, while the blue rotating diving scale,
contrasted with white Arabic numerals and a white 15-minute
zone, adds a hint of colour. This touch of blue is subtly enhanced
by the blue gasket visible under the watch’s octagonal bezel. This
model is also complemented with an additional blue rubber strap.
