The Royal Oak Offshore Volcano Chronograph is crafted in stainless steel with rubber push pieces and crown.  Distinctive to the Volcano are the orange numerals and inner flange.  Black Hornback crocodile strap with orange stitch detail complete the look. 

The Royal Oak Offshore embodies the perfect combination of style and strength, qualities Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet also feels are shared by LeBron James.
