Diver vs offshore

[jltait]

Hi All! Never posted in the AP forum here before, but have been looking into the Brand for a bit. Curious besides the (internal) rotating bezel and lack of chronograph, are there other discernible differences between the diver and offshore models? Sitting here drinking brandy and too lazy to dig into this myself. Perhaps my forum friends will indulge me!

The Diver is also an Offshore. The case is the same as other 42mm Offshores (just slightly thicker from memory). The rubber strap is slightly wider and not as smooth in the texture of its finish but still as high quality. Probably the main difference is the movement, I had the 1st generation Diver with what some describe as the wet look dial and the movement is regarded as very high quality although others here are better than me at describing the technical differences between the movement in the Diver and the chronograph.

The diver is ISO certified and rated to 300M

Much fewer diver models than the ROOC range (42 & 44 models)

Internal timing bezel & 2 crowns.

See through case back on more models.
