If there was one model you couldn’t miss at this year’s SIHH, it was the super-bright Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph quartet. Is Audemars Piguet giving us a vibrant taster of summer 2016? Whatever they’re thinking, just one look at these flashy colours awakened us from our winter weariness. The same self-winding 3124/3841 calibre fuels the time and chronograph functions with a 50-hour power reserve. The same 42mm solid steel case is topped with the famous octagonal bezel and is water-resistant to depths of 300m. The almost fluorescent hues alone change from one dial to the next on the rotating internal bezel and chronograph hands. The famous “Méga Tapisserie“ checkerboard is splashed with lime green, electric yellow, zesty orange and deep blue with Royal Oak’s signature hour and minute hands in the centre and small seconds at 9 o’ clock. Price: 26,000 CHF. Sharmila Bertin
