Since its debut in 1993, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore series is destined to be extraordinary. For a long time, the conventional round case or rectangular or square case is the inherent thinking of watches in our impression. However, the Royal Oak Offshore broke the established design norms, deconstructed and reorganized the brand’s iconic Royal Oak series design elements, showing a more masculine and generous style. This year, Audemars Piguet still launched a new design of the Royal Oak offshore watch. The 26401RO is made of brown ceramic bezel for the first time. How is it different? We then look down. (Model: 26401RO.OO.A087CA.01)

 The 44 mm diameter is perfect for tough guys and rugged sportsmen. Different from the Royal Oak series, the offshore type is a new choice launched for these men who like sports style. This 26401RO brown model uses an 18K rose gold case for the first time with a brown ceramic bezel, crown and buttons, and a brown dial and camouflage rubber strap engraved with the oversized check ‘Méga Tapisserie’. Always explain the superb and excellence from Audemars Piguet from the details.

 In the use of case material, we mentioned earlier that this watch uses more precious 18K rose gold, but the more special thing is the use of the bezel material. The brown ceramic bezel was used for the first time on the Royal Oak Offshore model, which complements the brown elements of the dial. The screw-down crown is also made of brown ceramic, which maintains consistency in the overall design.
