Style Edit: Audemars Piguet makes a splash with 9 new Royal Oak Offshore models

Few watches have challenged the conventions of high watchmaking quite as boldly as the Royal Oak Offshore. Designed by Emmanuel Gueit and inspired by the world of high-performance offshore racing, it has oversized proportions, an exposed rubber gasket and an unapologetically muscular design that earned it the nickname “The Beast”. More than three decades later, that rebellious energy remains at the heart of the collection – only now it comes dressed for a new generation.

For 2026, the Royal Oak Offshore gets a particularly colourful update in the form of three distinct trios: 37mm Selfwinding Chronographs, 42mm Selfwinding Chronographs and 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Divers. Together, the new models demonstrate just how broadly the Offshore aesthetic can stretch, from high-octane chronograph functionality to serious underwater capability.
