The Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix Collection embodies the powerful ties between watchmaking and automobiles: the same passion for design and the same incessant quest for mechanical performance. The dial counters evoke dashboard instruments, the crown a gear, and the bezel a ventilated brake disc. This collection is composed of three timepieces, issued in limited series featuring meticulously executed details combined with cutting-edge materials.

I ADORE every single one of them. (Unlike the new PAMs released today) Wonder how expensive the RG will end up.

That Wempe-looking Scuba is sweet too.

Awesome watches! I dig that outer ring surrounding the inner part of the watch. What kind of material could that be made of in the first model?
