Audemars Piguet Colourful Watches SIHH 2015 Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph

The brand has experimented over the last two decades with the case of this diving watch, introducing both carbon and ceramic. In its latest range of 42mm diving chronographs, Audemars Piguet sticks to good old stainless steel. The case back is in glareproofed sapphire crystal case. It is highlighted with black ceramic pushpieces and screw-locked crowns. The pushpiece-guards fitted to the case increase the sturdiness of the watch. They add a sense of power to the high-performance timepiece.

The rotating inner bezel with diving scale and zone from 60 to 15 minutes is another highlight of this water baby. The bracelet of SIHH 2016 Audemars Piguet watch is a sturdy rubber strap that coordinates with the colour of the dial and features a stainless steel pin buckle.
