The new collection, available in stainless steel or 18-carat pink gold, is distinguished by a more technical, sculpted aesthetic, as is notably visible in the resized design of the ceramic pushpieces, their guards and the ceramic crown. While every dial is decorated with the Royal Oak Offshore distinctive waffle-like “Mega-Tapisserie” pattern, new facetted hands with polished fillets around the markers, counters and date window together with luminescent coating make it more radiant thus ensuring enhanced readability. The engraved 22-carat gold oscillating mass is now visible through the sapphire caseback, a window onto 140 years of horological mastery.

This sophisticated chronograph with its incisive design features a wealth of opulent detailing. Light silver-toned dial with “Méga Tapisserie” pattern, blue counters, white gold applied hourmarkers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating, blue inner bezel.
