Crafted from Zirconium Oxide

The most distinctive feature of this APF Offshore is its case and bezel, which are machined from imported zirconium oxide — a high-tech ceramic known for its scratch resistance and hypoallergenic properties. Unlike standard stainless steel, this material is forged under extreme pressure and temperature, resulting in an ultra-dense structure that feels substantial yet comfortable on the wrist. The APF factory applies the latest CNC polishing techniques to achieve a flawless finish at every angle, ensuring that the case shows no sharp edges or inconsistencies.

Dial Details: Méga Tapisserie and Lume

The dial replicates Audemars Piguet's signature “Méga Tapisserie” oversized checkered pattern, with layered squares that catch light beautifully. The blue dial is paired with black subdials, creating a high-contrast look that is both sporty and sophisticated. Luminescent Arabic numerals and white gold Royal Oak hands ensure legibility in low light, while the double-sided sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating protects the dial from scratches and reflections.

Movement and Functions

Inside, this houses the original 3126 chronograph movement, which powers a flyback/retrograde chronograph with a 12-hour and 30-minute totalizer, small seconds at 12 o'clock, and a date display. The movement has been manually regulated and QC'd to ensure stability and accuracy, so you can rely on it for daily timing duties. The natural rubber strap is both durable and comfortable, making it ideal for active wear or casual outings.

Wearing and Styling

With its 42mm case, this Royal Oak Offshore fits most wrists comfortably, and the ergonomic design of the crown and pushers allows for a snug fit.
