Just released through a sneak peek via Audemars Piguet's website a new iteration of the Royal Oak Offshore in 44 mm, this time sporting a green ceramic bezel referred to as 'khaki' by AP. The new watch that we have decided to nickname the 'AP Combat' seems to be a stunner by the stock images published on AP's website. Fitted with a camouflage pattern rubber strap, a beige and brown dial 'Mega Tapisserie' dial and a green ceramic bezel, this new stainless steel watch will be available as of July 2018 under reference 26400SO.OO.A054CA.01.
As far as the movement, this new Royal Oak Offshore 'Combat' is still powered by the modular calibre 3126/3840 based off of the AP calibre 3120. Composed of 365 parts and 59 jewels, the movement provides a power reserve of 50 hours while beating at a frequency of 21,600 vph. The watch is fitted with the now traditional display case back that allows for full view of the movement. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
The watch will be sold with an additional khaki green rubber strap that we are quite confident it will be very good looking. More details, live pictures and pricing to follow next Monday January 15th as we report live from the SIHH 2018 in Geneva.
