Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph With New Summer Colours

Six new references in 42mm and 37mm powered by the in-house Calibres 4404 and 6401

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph collection welcomes the summer season with a bold and colourful update, unveiling six new references in both 42 mm and 37 mm formats. The new lineup reinforces the Offshore’s identity as the most expressive and sporty interpretation of the Royal Oak design, now enhanced with vibrant seasonal tones and next-generation in-house movements.

More than 30 years after its debut in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore remains one of the most distinctive sports chronographs in luxury watchmaking. Originally nicknamed “The Beast” due to its bold proportions and unconventional styling, the model challenged traditional horological design codes with its oversized case, visible technical elements, and rugged aesthetic.

This latest evolution continues that spirit, but introduces a fresh visual language inspired by summer energy and colour.

42mm: Three Bold Summer Variations

The 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs arrive in three new executions, all featuring the signature “Mega Tapisserie” dial pattern. Each version is defined by a striking accent colour that extends across the chronograph elements, including the hands, pushers, and tachymeter scale.

The result is a highly cohesive yet energetic design, where each model expresses a distinct personality through colour while maintaining the strong identity of the Offshore collection.

The cases are offered in stainless steel and titanium, combining brushed and polished surfaces that enhance the model’s muscular architecture. Each watch is paired with interchangeable calfskin straps featuring matching colour accents.

Inside, the watches are powered by the in-house Calibre 4404, an integrated automatic chronograph movement featuring a column-wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. Operating at 4 Hz, it delivers smooth chronograph performance and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

37mm: A More Compact Expression

For the first time in this generation, Audemars Piguet also presents three new 37mm Royal Oak Offshore Chronographs, designed for smaller wrists while maintaining the collection’s bold character.

These models introduce a more playful and versatile aesthetic, with vibrant dial colours such as turquoise, pink, and light blue. Depending on the reference, they are paired with titanium or pink gold cases, with certain versions also featuring diamond-set bezels for a more luxurious expression.

All models are fitted with rubber straps that reinforce the sporty identity of the Offshore line while ensuring everyday comfort.

Powering this trio is the newly introduced Calibre 6401, an in-house integrated chronograph movement developed specifically for smaller case dimensions. Measuring 27 mm in diameter and 5.7 mm in thickness, it delivers a refined balance between compact design and mechanical performance, offering a 55-hour power reserve and operating at 4 Hz.

A New Chapter in Colour and Performance

With these six new references, Audemars Piguet continues to evolve the Royal Oak Offshore into a platform that blends technical innovation with bold visual expression. The introduction of vivid summer colours across both case sizes highlights a more contemporary and lifestyle-oriented direction, while the latest in-house calibres reinforce the brand’s commitment to mechanical excellence.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph collection once again demonstrates its ability to adapt without losing its identity — combining strength, sportiness, and high-end watchmaking in a distinctly modern way.
