Why Choose a Clear Rubber Strap for Your Royal Oak Offshore?

The MIDAS Transparent Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap is genuinely unique. We were the first in the industry to create a transparent AP compatible rubber strap, giving your watch a totally distinctive look that no other colourway can replicate. The transparent strap lets the case and architecture of your Royal Oak Offshore take centre stage while adding a modern, avant-garde edge that is unlike anything else on the market. For collectors who want something truly different, this is it.

Broken or Worn AP Strap? Replace It With a Clear Royal Oak Offshore Strap

Rubber straps wear with age, sweat, sun and salt water. Cracks near the lugs, a torn keeper loop, stretched holes or hardened rubber are all signs your AP strap needs replacing. A broken Audemars Piguet strap is a risk to the watch itself, so replace it before it fails. A clear replacement strap is the chance to change the look of your Offshore at the same time.
