The 42mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph ‘Safari’ with reference 26170ST, featuring a white Méga Tapisserie dial and a brown leather strap, lies at the opposite end of the Royal Oak Offshore’s visual range from the black and dark versions which characterized its time, and the best replica available does a good job of achieving that light, warm, and natural look. It is the white dial that defines the Safari, making it the most formally unusual in terms of appearance among the standard Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph models produced between 2007 and 2014.
The white dial has the distinctive Méga Tapisserie waffle pattern, and this replica accurately reproduces the three dimensional, textured surface effect together with the black Arabic numerals for the hour markers and the hands, which have a luminous filling, in keeping with the proportions of the real 26170ST. The tachymeter scale on the inner bezel and the three chronograph sub dials faithfully follow the technical and functional arrangement of the reference, just as the authentic model does.
The white dial pairs well with the steel bezel, the crown and the chronograph pushers being protected by rubber, and the way this is constructed correctly shows off the striking contrast between the two materials against the brushed stainless steel case. The automatic Calibre 3126/3840 chronograph movement, which provides a power reserve of between 50 and 60 hours, is in keeping with Audemars Piguet’s dedication to combining real technical excellence with the bold design of the Royal Oak Offshore.
The warm, naturalistic style is completed by the hand-stitched brown crocodile leather strap with a stainless steel AP folding clasp, and this replica maintains the same comfortable and secure build as the original. Unlike some lower quality replicas, this one doesn’t have a stiff or cheap feel and provides true comfort for everyday use.
If you are looking for a Royal Oak Offshore replica which features a truly rare white dial together with warm, naturalistic brown leather trim, then the Chronograph “Safari” 42mm 26170ST is a unique choice worthy of collection. Join your collection now with a watch that differs from the Offshore’s usual dark tones.
