Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26238ST.OO.A001VE.01 Flyback Chronograph Stainless Steel Silver Dial (2026)

Orange stitching on a black leather strap against a silver-grey dial is the kind of detail that dates an Offshore precisely — the collection has always used contrast stitching as its signature, going back to the 1993 original that the industry initially rejected as too large and too aggressive. Thirty years later the Offshore is the reason large sports chronographs exist at all, and the Méga Tapisserie dial remains the largest-scale pattern Audemars Piguet cuts.

The stainless steel case measures 42 mm with the octagonal bezel and its eight hexagonal screws. The silver-grey Méga Tapisserie dial carries black and silver-grey counters, so the registers separate by tone rather than by colour. The chronograph is self-winding. The interchangeable black textured leather strap with orange stitching is fitted with a stainless steel pin buckle. The Méga scale is cut on the same decades-old tapisserie machines as the finer patterns, operated by hand rather than programmed, which is why depth varies fractionally across any single dial.
