The quintessential sports watch The sense of power and distinction exuded by the Royal Oak Offshore Diver stems both from its performances and its appearance. The inimitable and legendary octagonal shape has become an emblem of sports watches. It appears here more forcefully than ever. Loyal to its origins, the replica Omega 4813.30.01 watch case is of course in stainless steel. It really is worth remembering that Audemars Piguet in fact invented the first high-end sports watch in 1972, which it named Royal Oak, and that it achieved the unprecedented feat of raising steel to the rank of a noble metal on a par with gold.
In 1992, the octagon then took on its extreme-sports appearance with the advent of the Royal Oak Offshore. This collection makes ample use of rubber that is often associated with steel, and sometimes even with gold. Its dials feature a distinctive replica Omega 4570.71 watch criss-cross or grid pattern named "M¡§|ga Tapisserie".
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver picks up these codes and majestically reinterprets them. The satin-brushed or polished finishes of the case enliven the replica Omega 1252.30 watch steel and create a play on contrasts. The 10 o'clock crown accentuates the technical nature of this model with distinctive features including an octagonal bezel fitted with eight polished hexagonal screws, while the black rubber joint beneath the bezel echoes the rubber-moulded crowns and the strap.
