Icon20 A New Royal Oak Offshore - Doha Limited Edition

I have just learned about this from an app on my phone. It's a new Offshore - Doha Limited Edition. It looks pretty good.

Link: Royal Oak Offshore Doha

Enjoy!

Apparently it has an Audemars Piguet manufactured Calibre 3126/3840 selfwinding chronograph movement.
I have a few Pics:

Great looking watch. Love the Ti case with ceramic bezel and clear case back.

The 3126/3840 is the current 3120 with modular chono in many of the current ROOs.

Wonder if they will unveil the new in-house integrated chrono at SIHH. Also wonder if it will be in both the ROC and ROO.

Interesting find.

New 42mm's should be interesting.

Would love to see more titanium.

I think the 2014 RGRC will look similar to this, rose gold, in house movement/Chrono, clear case back and Ceramic Bezel. If so, I most probably will go for it!

These rendered pics never show true beauty of ceremic bezel, so live pics and in person it will be amazing... It just lacks a tapisery :(

Hi Soly, not on AP website yet but they have already launched a new RGRC in the form of the 26178OK.OO.D002CA.01 with the later 3126/3840 movement in. I doubt AP will launch 2 different 42mm RG but then again they have the 44mm in FC and Ceramic with the same dial. Love the Doha edition but would have preferred ceramic pushers.

Hey Yoda. That newer rubber clad has already been discontinued. It will be resigned and revealed at SIHH in a week or to. Fully redesigned!

I like it but I do not think the lack of tapisserie on the bezel is a good thing, especially if this carries on to the new 42mm lineup...

Absolutely, it better not be on all the 42mms, no tapisserie = no ROO.

This is then too much like a HBB, esp with a ceramic bezel and the old pushers.

but, the sunburst effect looks nice with this set up, IMHO. cleans up the presentation and sets off nicely with the strap.

They are bolts - not screws.

Thanks for the information. That is a very short production run indeed for a non LE.
