SUMMARY

First released in 1992, the Offshore takes the Royal Oak's distinctive look, adding a more robust design perfectly suited to contemporary tastes. The 42mm case of this example is finished in stainless steel with expertly hand-laid polished bevels along the flanks and lug hoods. Similar attention to detail can be seen on the bezel, with sharp transitions between the brushed and polished surfaces. A “mega tapisserie” finish to the dial is accented by a bright orange tachymeter, hands and hour markers, providing superior legibility and plenty of sporty character.
