It’s apparent that the amazing Audemars Piguet is perfectly aware that their watches are bound to be polarizing, with people asking, “Why would anyone pay $20k for a bright orange AP diver?” The answer is obvious—because they love it, find it interesting, and can afford it. Audemars Piguet replica knows they have a strong customer base, and fresh, new offerings keep them coming back.
While last year’s new additions were bright—almost neon—this year’s new variations are milder. The four new colors joining the collection are turquoise blue, purple, beige, and khaki. Though they’re not dull by any means, they’re a bit more subdued, particularly when compared to last year’s releases.
The major ingredients of the Royal Oak Offshore Diver remain unchanged. The stainless steel case is 42mm wide and 14.1mm. On the octagonal bezel are exposed octagonal screws made out of white gold. There are two large rubber-clad screw-down crowns—one at 3 o’clock and another at 10 o’clock. The former is for adjusting the time and date, but the latter is for adjusting the internal dive bezel. All four models come with comfortable matching rubber straps with stainless steel pin buckles. As befits a true dive watch, water resistance is up to 300m.
Like other Royal Oak Offshore Diver watches, these swiss replica watches are beefy and muscular, and they wear large on the wrist. If that’s not enough, the bright colors will surely cause surrounding people to take notice. If you want a watch that is going to get noticed, I can think of few watches that do a better job standing out so prominently.
The dial is no less impressive. The colors are rich and vivid, and although the ‘Mega Tapisserie’ pattern isn’t quite as delicate as the ‘Petite Tapisserie’ pattern found on the fake Royal Oak Jumbo, it is still so nice to behold. To ensure legibility whilst diving, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver has a thick hour and minute hands and hour markers, all made out of white gold and filled with luminescent material.
The rotating inner bezel is marked with contrasting colors to make it easy to read. The beige model has the first 15 minutes and the remaining tens of minutes in blue, while the turquoise blue, purple, and khaki models have white markings. There’s also a color-matched date window at 3 o’clock with a magnifier glass. I really like date wheels with colors that match the dial, as they’re more harmonious and subtle.
These new models all have see-through sapphire case backs that reveal the in-house self-winding caliber 3120. The first factor that catches your eye is the large 22k gold rotor that features the family crests of the luxury replica Audemars Piguet families. There really aren’t many truly high-end dive watches out there in this price range, as competitors like the popular replica tag Heuer or Vacheron Constantin are not as prolific as Audemars Piguet in this category. The Hublot Big Bang line is obviously similar in boldness and attitude, but those aren’t diverse anyway.
