SIHH 2010: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore DiverThe new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver that was officially presented last week at the SIHH 2010 event is a true diving watch with an official depth rating of 300 meters.Although capable of withstanding the serious water pressure, the watch still can not be considered a professional diving watch, because it lacks a helium escape valve. In a worst case scenario, its thick sapphire glass may pop during decompression.Still, you can wear it as a casual watch and still use it for casual scuba diving.Its main selling point is the inner 60-minute diving scale. While some beautiful timepieces were utterly ruined because their styling was incompatible with a standard unidirectional rotating bezel, this one keeps its original face. As you can see on the photos, the scale is hidden on the inner part of the bezel and is controlled with an extra crown located at 10 o’clock.
