Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph “Volcano”

Ref. 26170ST.OO.D101CR.01 – Special Edition

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “Volcano” is one of the most iconic and recognizable special editions within the Offshore family. Officially referenced as 26170ST.OO.D101CR.01, this model stands out for its bold color contrast, rugged construction, and unmistakable Royal Oak Offshore DNA, making it a cult favorite among collectors.

The watch features the classic Royal Oak Offshore 42mm case, crafted in black DLC stainless steel with a combination of satin brushed and polished finishes. The signature octagonal bezel is secured by eight exposed hexagonal screws, reinforcing the industrial, performance driven aesthetic that defines the Offshore line.

The watch is distinguished by its bright orange inner bezel (rehaut) and matching orange details throughout the dial. The case is paired with a black hornback crocodile leather strap, accented with orange stitching, perfectly complementing the dial’s color scheme and emphasizing the watch’s sporty yet luxurious character.

The black Mega Tapisserie dial serves as a dramatic backdrop for the vivid orange Arabic numerals and hands, all filled with luminescent material for enhanced legibility. Three recessed chronograph subdials are positioned at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock, maintaining the balanced layout typical of Offshore chronographs.

Additional details include:

Chronograph seconds hand with orange accents

Date display at 3 o’clock

Tachymeter scale printed on the orange inner bezel

The result is a dial that is bold, legible, and unmistakably Audemars Piguet.
