Hands-On Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26238ST
The Beast… This is the name watch enthusiasts gave to the Royal Oak Offshore when it was presented in 1993. If the classic Royal Oak of 1972 was already disruptive, the ROO was a shock, a true rupture, something unprecedented and provocative. But almost 30 years after its presentation, the Royal Oak Offshore has proven to be a finely tuned recipe and has since been derived in a multitude of versions. However, nothing can beat the iconic status of the original. We’ve seen a re-edition of this very watch in 2018 and, this year, Audemars Piguet brings a new version of its Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph that again pays tribute to the early years of the ROO. Also available in titanium and gold, we now take a closer look at the all-time classic steel-and-blue version of this 26238ST, which comes with noteworthy improvements, and isn’t limited anymore.The 1993 Royal Oak OffshoreAs always with watches paying tribute to a past model, a historical brief is necessary.

And while steel was part of the inaugural concept, precious metals made their appearance later… And they are still used today to create this rather special edition. Here are the Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin “Yoshida” 15206PT and 15207OR.Same case, just more preciousThese new (and rare) editions retain all the classic elements of the Jumbo case and bracelet, meaning a thin and reasonably large case, measuring 39mm x 8.1mm.

Introducing The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Monobalancier Titanium
Roger Dubuis' Excalibur line takes inspiration from the Arthurian legend and, since 2005, has been a flagship collection for the Geneva-based brand. Appearing with a recreation of King Arthur's Round Table, complete with miniature sculpted knights, the Excalibur has always felt comfortable about stripping off and showing off its avant-garde skeletonised mechanics.
