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 amongst collectors, with its focus on sturdiness and an impactful aesthetic. 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 Ref. 26400IO.OO.A004CA.01 is from a titanium edition and is defined by its bold aesthetics. The very sizable and notable 44mm case, rendered naturally in titanium, is quite raw and rugged with a vertically brushed finish throughout and on the bezel that houses the recognisable screw details. The screw-locked crown and the pushers of this chronograph are executed in solid black ceramic. The sporty vibe of the case echoes on the slate grey dial where the distinctive “mega tapisserie” pattern steals the show. The look on the dial is extremely appealing and is further elevated with rhodium-toned subdials set in a vertical configuration and a date window at 3 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.
