The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver, a relatively recent addition to the prestigious Royal Oak family, has rapidly cemented its place as a highly sought-after luxury sports watch. Its robust build, impressive water resistance, and the unmistakable Royal Oak aesthetic have captivated watch enthusiasts worldwide. This review will delve into the key features, performance, and overall experience of this exceptional timepiece, focusing primarily on the two most popular dial variations: the silver (Model# 15710ST.OO.A002CA.02) and black (Model# 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01). We will also briefly touch upon its relationship to other models within the Audemars Piguet lineup, including the Audemars Piguet Offshore Diver and the 15720.
Design and Aesthetics:
The Royal Oak Diver’s design is a masterclass in understated elegance and rugged functionality. It seamlessly blends the iconic Royal Oak elements – the octagonal bezel, the “tapisserie” dial pattern, and the integrated bracelet – with the practicality demanded by a professional diver's watch. Both the silver and black dial versions maintain this perfect balance.
The silver dial, with its subtle sunburst effect, offers a classic and versatile look, perfect for both formal and informal occasions. The applied hour markers and hands, filled with luminescent material, provide excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The date window, discreetly positioned at 3 o'clock, adds a touch of practicality without detracting from the overall aesthetic.
The black dial, on the other hand, projects a more contemporary and sporty feel. The deep black dial, also with the signature tapisserie pattern, provides a striking contrast to the stainless steel case and bracelet. The luminescent markers and hands are equally prominent on this version, ensuring optimal readability underwater or in dimly lit environments.
The 42mm stainless steel case is substantial but comfortably wears on most wrists. The unidirectional rotating bezel, with its distinct numerals and markers, is easy to grip and manipulate, even when wearing gloves. The bezel’s smooth action and precise clicks provide confidence in its functionality as a crucial diving tool. The screw-down crown, along with the screw-down caseback, ensures the watch's impressive 300-meter water resistance, making it suitable for serious diving activities.
The integrated bracelet, a hallmark of the Royal Oak design, is exquisitely crafted and exceptionally comfortable. The bracelet's links are meticulously finished, and the deployment clasp is both secure and user-friendly. The bracelet's design perfectly complements the watch’s overall aesthetic, seamlessly integrating with the case. The ability to easily adjust the bracelet is a welcome feature, ensuring a perfect fit for various wrist sizes.
