From the XXL escapades of his adolescence, the piece has retained its power, today controlled and mature. Its new black and gold version is there to remind us of this. Its diameter of 43mm confirms that we remain in the presence of an essentially masculine piece. The sporty orientation is underlined by a tricompax chronograph which unfolds on a Méga-Tapisserie motif as contemporary as the Offshore itself (the piece was created in 1993, the Méga-Tapisserie in 2002). Technique is on par with aesthetics. Faceted case and bezel are extremely complex, highlighted by dedicated finishes. Materials, contrast and volumes assert a strong and massive personality. Combining the power of gold and the hardness of ceramic, this Royal Oak Offshore is not there to negotiate: it imposes itself.
The editorial staff liked the aesthetic bias, without compromise. The preservation of the Offshore spirit, tamed and reasoned. The chromatic and functional complementarity of gold and ceramic.
