Besides the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet also has the Offshore

　　the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collectioncan be described as a legend for Audemars Piguet, pioneering the luxury sports watch category. Its robust octagonal case and eight exposed hexagonal screws have become its distinct features, offering exceptionally high legibility. This collection was launched in 1972, which is 4 years earlier than Patek Philippe's Nautilus collection. After more than 20 years of development, Audemars Piguet introduced the Offshore (Royal Oak Offshore) collection in 1993 based on the Royal Oak collection, aiming to continue deeply cultivating the luxury sports market, and the results have indeed been extraordinary.

　　The differences from the Royal Oak

　　If you make a careful comparison, you will surely find that although the Royal Oak collection is also touted as a sports watch, its water resistance is generally only 50 metres. Such a water resistance level is somewhat disappointing for a watch boasting a sports collection, although many people who wear the Royal Oak collection simply love its "wild yet unrestrained" design and certainly do not actually wear it for sports; it merely represents a sporting style. Perhaps for many people, this is enough, especially since a Royal Oak watch is not cheap. However, the introduction of the Offshore collection made this classic series renowned for its luxury sports style truly live up to its name. This is because the water resistance level was suddenly increased to 300 metres, or at least 100 metres, and innovative materials such as ceramics were widely adopted. In other words, the original Royal Oak collection was equipped with a sturdier "suit of armour" and protective gear, while also putting considerable effort into the anti-magnetic properties of the movement. Not only are these internal changes apparent, but visually we can easily see that the checkered pattern on the Offshore is noticeably larger than that of the traditional Royal Oak collection, and the case diameter has also increased. That is to say, both internally and externally, it has become more "rugged" or better suited for "rugged" pursuits.

　　Additionally, it is worth mentioning that HMS Royal Oak is the name of a Royal Navy warship. If the previous Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection was like the Royal Oak docked at the shore, the advent of the Offshore allows this legendary "warship" of the Royal Oak collection to truly set sail away from the shore.

　　Royal Oak Offshore SeriesIt is a continuation and elevation of Audemars Piguet's signature luxury sports style, as well as being a modern favourite for the brand today. Not only does it boast striking market performance, but its watchmaking craftsmanship has also won widespread industry recognition and high expectations.
