As with any other product, watch straps must eventually be replaced at some point, and as durable as this timepiece may be, the Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm is not an exception to this rule. However, because there are such a large variety of options available when it comes to purchasing a replacement watch strap, it is entirely reasonable that a person could become overwhelmed when trying to decide which watch strap would be best for them. In an attempt to make the selection process easier, we have crafted this article in order to assist you in locating the ideal Audemars Piguet rubber strap.

Before delving into which watch strap is actually the best Audemars Piguet rubber strap, it would be ideal to spend some time looking at the history of the watch itself, as well as learning a little bit more about the default strap that is included with the watch. This will allow for a better understanding of when the default Audemars Piguet watch strap needs to be replaced.

What is the History of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm Watch?

In order to have a solid understanding of the Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm, it is necessary to take a few steps back and look at the Royal Oak watch first. Originally crafted in 1972 by noted watchmaker Gerald Genta, the release of the Royal Oak was a watershed moment for both Audemars Piguet and the watchmaking industry as a whole.

In the early 1970’s, the luxury watchmaking industry was struggling significantly. This was due, in large part, to the fact that Asian watch manufacturers were producing quartz watches, which were significantly easier to make and could retail at a much cheaper price.

As a result of this dire fiscal situation, Audemars Piguet needed something that would grab the attention of consumers – something that they had not previously seen before. Though its design was considered radical at the time and very divisive, the Royal Oak soon became Audemars Piguet’s best-selling watch, and is far and away the company’s most immediately recognizable product line.

This meant that, in 1993, when the company asked Emmanuel Gueit to design a new version of the Royal Oak, he had rather large shoes to fill, to put it mildly. Gueit decided to craft a watch that was larger, sportier, and most certainly geared towards a younger clientele.

This decision would certainly prove to be the correct one, as the Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm has become a very popular watch, especially among celebrities, in the years that followed. Noted athletes and artists such as Lebron James, Floyd Mayweather, Jay-Z, Michael Schumacher, Leo Messi, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all own one of these watches, and some of them even have their own special edition timepiece available for purchase as well.

When Should You Replace the Watch Strap On Your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm Watch?

While every watch strap is different and will last for a different amount of time depending on how you treat it, on average, an OEM AP Strap should normally be replaced after five years of usage. Wearing a watch with a damaged strap is not a good idea, as you will significantly increase the chance of losing the watch by having it fall off of your wrist.

What is the Best Kind of Replacement Strap For Your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm Watch?

When it comes to purchasing a replacement strap for your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44 mm timepiece, an Audemars Piguet rubber strap is likely to be your best option for a number of reasons.

Because of the well-known durability of rubber, it is capable of getting wet and not being damaged, meaning that your watch, and the accompanying Audemars Piguet rubber strap, can be used as activewear if you so choose.

Additionally, purchasing a rubber watch strap allows you the satisfaction of knowing that you were combatting animal cruelty and contributing to sustainability efforts by purchasing a watch strap that does not use any animal products as part of its production. If you are environmentally conscious at all, a rubber Audemars Piguet strap is clearly the best option in this instance.

Finally, when you purchase an Audemars Piguet rubber strap, you have the option of doing so in several different colors and styles, allowing for a greater degree of customization than you would with a traditional leather strap or a twill strap.
