The Best AP Rubber Strap for the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Our top rubber strap colours for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver are black for versatility, white for summer and Riviera Blue for colour. Choose orange, Acid Green or yellow for the bold, sporty look the Diver suits better than any other Offshore.

This guide compares six colours from the MIDAS collection for the 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Diver. Use the dial colour to narrow your choice, then check your exact reference and attachment system before ordering. A colour pairing does not establish strap compatibility.

How We Chose These Strap Colours

These are MIDAS styling recommendations for our own aftermarket straps. We have ranked the colours by versatility, contrast against the Diver case and how they complement the Diver's dial and accent colours. The on-wrist photographs illustrate the combinations; the ranking is a matter of taste, rather than an independent product test.

The Diver is the most playful Offshore, and its dial colours and inner bezel make bright straps look intentional. Start with black or white, then match a bright strap to your dial or accents.

What Colour Strap Goes With the Royal Oak Offshore Diver?

Match the Inner Bezel, Hands or Dial

The Diver's inner rotating bezel and coloured markings make it easy to choose a strap that looks connected to the watch. Repeating an orange, yellow or green accent is a reliable starting point. If the dial is neutral, black keeps the watch quiet and white or blue creates a separate contrast.

1. Black Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Best overall. Black is the everyday choice for any Diver and the closest to the factory look on most references. It keeps the watch sporty without drawing attention to the strap.

2. White Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Best for summer. White turns the Diver into a summer watch and suits poolside and beach wear. Clean off sun cream and other residue promptly; white rubber can still stain or discolour.

3. Riviera Blue Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Best colour. Riviera Blue gives the Diver a brighter, summer look and works on blue and black dials alike.

4. Orange Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Best with orange accents. Orange is a classic dive-watch colour and suits Divers with orange details on the dial or inner bezel.

5. Acid Green Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Boldest. Acid Green is the boldest option for the Diver and suits green-dial and black-dial references for summer wear.

6. Yellow Rubber Strap on the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Most playful. Yellow suits the Diver's sporty character, especially on references with yellow accents.

Strap Colours We Would Avoid on the Diver

Brown can look out of place on a dive watch, because the Diver's character is sporty rather than dressy. We prefer brown on rose and yellow gold.

How a MIDAS Strap Fits the Royal Oak Offshore Diver

• Size: the Royal Oak Offshore Diver is a 42mm case with a 28mm lug width and takes the MIDAS 42mm strap.
• Buckle: the factory Diver buckle does not fit the MIDAS strap. Use the free 22mm MIDAS tang buckle included with every 42mm strap.
• Attachment: a screw bar through your original AP end links. Confirm the correct end links and hardware for your exact watch.
• Exclusions: MIDAS straps are not compatible with AP's Quick Release system. Case diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
• Price: £100 per strap, with free shipping and a lifetime warranty.

The 15720ST uses AP's Quick Release system. It fits a MIDAS strap only after older-style end links are retrofitted. Before ordering, check the fitment guide for your exact reference, including whether it needs strap end links.

Royal Oak Offshore Diver Strap FAQs

What colour strap goes with a Royal Oak Offshore Diver?

Black is the most versatile, white suits summer, and Riviera Blue is the best colour option. Orange, Acid Green and yellow suit the Diver's sporty character.

Can I use my factory Diver buckle with a MIDAS strap?

No. The factory Diver buckle does not fit the MIDAS 42mm strap. Use the free 22mm MIDAS tang buckle included with your strap.

Should a Diver strap match the inner rotating bezel?

It can, but it does not have to. Repeating an orange, yellow or green accent is a reliable starting point. Black lets the dial lead, while white or blue creates a separate contrast.

What size strap does the Royal Oak Offshore Diver take?

The Diver is a 42mm Royal Oak Offshore with a 28mm lug width. It takes the MIDAS 42mm strap, which comes with a free 22mm tang buckle.

Will a MIDAS strap fit the 15720ST Diver with Quick Release?

Not directly. The 15720ST uses AP's Quick Release system, so older-style end links must be fitted first. See the 15720ST fitment guide for details.

How much does a MIDAS AP rubber strap cost?

Each MIDAS rubber strap is £100, with free shipping and a lifetime warranty.

Are MIDAS straps made by Audemars Piguet?

No. MIDAS makes aftermarket replacement straps for compatible Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watches. They are not OEM Audemars Piguet straps.
