The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26170ST.OO.1000ST.01 showcases the celebrated "Panda" dial configuration—a striking white backdrop with contrasting black sub-dials that has captivated collectors since its introduction. This iconic sports chronograph balances bold proportions with refined finishing, embodying the audacious spirit of the Offshore collection.
Case & Construction
The 42mm stainless steel case features the signature octagonal bezel with eight exposed hexagonal screws, brushed and polished surfaces, and integrated lug architecture. Screw-locked crown and chronograph pushers ensure water resistance to 100 metres, making this a true sports watch capable of accompanying active lifestyles.
Dial & Complications
The white "Méga Tapisserie" dial creates a textured canvas for the iconic Panda layout: black sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock provide chronograph readability with 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, and small seconds respectively. Applied white gold hour markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating ensure legibility in all conditions. Date aperture positioned at 3 o'clock.
Movement
Powered by a self-winding automatic chronograph calibre with column-wheel mechanism, delivering precision timekeeping and approximately 40 hours of power reserve. The sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the decorated movement with Côtes de Genève, perlage, and bevelled edges.
Bracelet & Fit
The integrated stainless steel bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, featuring alternating brushed and polished links. The AP-folding clasp with double push-security system provides both comfort and confidence during wear.
