A worthy addition to the Royal Oak family, the Offshore Diver made its debut in late 2012. Immediately catching on among collectors and general enthusiasts, it established itself as both an excellent gateway to AP and a one-watch-collection sort of timepiece. It incorporates all the essential Royal Oak design staples – which, of course, trace their origins to the visionary Genta – but presents them in a restrained fashion. The Mega Tappeserie dial, for example, while just as reality-defyingly flawless, is decidedly subtler than those of other Oaks. One might even go as far as calling it “understated”. The dial provides the backdrop for a set of broad hands and applied indices fashioned out of untarnishable white gold. The latter’s glisten is contrasted by the brushed octagonal bezel, which also lends the Diver a touch of the 1971 original’s magic. Inside, concealed by a see-through caseback, the in-house cal. 3120 is calmly ticking away.
