SIHH 2018: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 'Havana' Brown Dial. Live Pictures & Pricing.

Another brand new dial for the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in stainless steel, this time with an eye-catching 'Havana' brown Méga Tapisserie dial with navy blue subdials, white Arabic numerals and white chronograph hands. This new watch is exactly like all other Royal Oak Offshores in 42 mm with ceramic pushers and redesigned crown guards in black. Presented as ref. 26470ST.OO.A099CR.01, this new watch will be sold with a non-hornback large square scale brown alligator strap with blue contrast stitching.


The Dial

This new dial is a true chameleon that depending on lighting conditions varies in hue all the way from a true chocolate brown to a cigar leaf brown and everything in between. The contrast between the brown and blue subdials is simply out of this world and this new color combination is definitely a winner.


The Pushers & Strap

As mentioned earlier, the ceramic crown and pushers are black like on the rest of the redesigned Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshores. The strap matches the dial perfectly and the contrast stitching is like the perfect cherry on top of the cake.


On the Wrist & Pricing

On the wrist, this new dial combination is pure fire. Without a doubt one of our favorite new dials for the Royal Oak Offshore line and a watch that we are confident we'll see fly out of the vitrines. Its brown dial is reminiscent of the tobacco leaves that are carefully rolled at the cigar factories in Havana, hence we've nicknamed the watch as such.
