Audemars Piguet Updates The Royal Oak Offshore With New Chronograph And Diver Models
Audemars Piguet continues to evolve its Royal Oak Offshore line in 2026 with new additions to two of its cornerstone collections: the Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph and the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. Designed as a more robust and technical counterpart to the original Royal Oak, the Offshore remains defined by its bold proportions, modular construction, and strong emphasis on materials and functionality.
The latest releases introduce new material combinations and colour palettes while retaining the core architecture that has defined the Offshore range for decades.
Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph
The Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph remains one of the most imposing models in Audemars Piguet’s catalogue, housed in a 43 mm case and characterised by its integrated lugs, exposed screws, and distinctive octagonal bezel. For 2026, Audemars Piguet introduces two new references that explore contrasting applications of ceramic and titanium.
Blue Ceramic and Titanium Edition
The first new reference features a blue ceramic case paired with titanium components. The ceramic tone echoes Audemars Piguet’s historic “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” colour, originally associated with early Royal Oak dials. Titanium is used for several functional and structural elements, including the crown guards, chronograph pushers, caseback frame, screws, and integrated lugs, creating a deliberate contrast between the two materials.
The dial follows the same colour theme, combining a silver-toned Mega Tapisserie pattern with blue chronograph subdials. The layered dial construction maintains the Offshore’s emphasis on legibility, with applied markers and bold hands designed for high visibility.
Titanium Case with Black Ceramic Accents
The second addition reverses the material balance. Here, titanium forms the main case structure, while black ceramic is reserved for the bezel, crown, and chronograph pushers. This configuration highlights the lightweight and durable properties of titanium while using ceramic for areas exposed to frequent contact.
The dial adopts a smoked green finish, complemented by sand-coloured timing scales and paired with an olive green strap. Together, these elements create a utilitarian aesthetic that aligns with the Offshore’s tool-watch identity, while preserving the collection’s signature visual codes.
Movement and Pricing
Both chronograph models are powered by the in-house Calibre 4401, an automatic integrated flyback chronograph movement operating at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and offering a 70-hour power reserve. The movement features a column wheel and vertical clutch, ensuring precise chronograph engagement and consistent timekeeping performance.
In terms of pricing, the blue ceramic and titanium edition is priced at € 58,000, while the titanium and black ceramic version with green dial is offered at € 42,400.

Royal Oak Offshore Diver
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver occupies a distinct position within the Offshore lineup, combining the brand’s angular design language with features specific to professional dive watches. For 2026, Audemars Piguet expands the collection with three new colour variants, all based on the current-generation Diver introduced in 2021.
Case, Construction, and Movement
All three new references share the same technical foundation. The stainless steel case measures 42mm in diameter and is equipped with a second crown positioned at 10 o’clock, which controls the internal rotating dive bezel. This crown mirrors the shape of the main crown at 3 o’clock, preserving symmetry while maintaining water resistance.
Inside, the watches are powered by the in-house Calibre 4308, an automatic movement offering a 60-hour power reserve. The movement is designed for robustness and daily wear, aligning with the Diver’s intended use.
New Colour Variants
The first new variant combines a black dial and internal bezel with pink accents, creating a high-contrast display while maintaining legibility. This version is paired with a white rubber strap, further emphasising the colour contrast across the watch. A second reference adopts a similar layout but replaces the pink elements with turquoise, extending the colour to a matching rubber strap for a more cohesive appearance. The third addition takes a more traditional approach, featuring a blue dial complemented by a black and white internal bezel, aligning closely with Audemars Piguet’s established colour palette.
Despite their differing aesthetics, all three models retain identical technical specifications and construction.
Pricing
All three Royal Oak Offshore Diver references are priced at € 30,000.

A Continued Focus on Materials and Identity
With these 2026 releases, Audemars Piguet reinforces the Royal Oak Offshore’s role as a platform for material experimentation and bold design. Whether through contrasting ceramic and titanium in the chronograph models or fresh colour combinations in the Diver collection, the Offshore continues to evolve while remaining unmistakably Audemars Piguet.
