The skill of evoking a distinctively powerful sense of watchmaking has turned Royal Oak Offshore into one of the most coveted and sought-after styles among collectors. Drawing upon the iconic legacy of Royal Oak, Offshore has endeavoured to reinterpret the signature codes of the collection through an astute, sporty lens. It was first introduced in 1993, and today, it is one of the linchpins of the maison.

This reference 26170ST.OO.D305CR.01 is defined by its bold aesthetics. Its versatile 42mm case, rendered in steel, is quite raw and rugged with a vertically brushed finish throughout, including the bezel, which houses the recognisable screw details. The screw-locked crown and the pushers of this chronograph are executed in solid ceramic. The sporty vibe of the case echoes on the silver dial, where the distinctive tapisserie pattern steals the show. The look on the dial is extremely appealing and is further elevated with blue-toned sub-dials set in a vertical configuration and a date window at three o'clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
