Fitment guide: does a MIDAS strap fit my Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST?
The three bracelet references (Panda Bracelet, Black Themes Bracelet, Blue Dial Bracelet) (.01, .08, .09) ship on an integrated factory bracelet. The bracelet end links are built into the bracelet itself, so you'll need to separately source replacement strap end links before fitting a MIDAS strap.
The five dial-colourway references (Safari, Volcano, Panda, Black Themes, Navy) come on a rubber/leather strap from the factory and fit MIDAS 42mm Offshore straps directly. Reuse your existing OEM end links, they transfer directly. Each ships with a factory deployment clasp, use the MIDAS tang buckle supplied with your strap, the deployment clasp does not carry over.
Every Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap from MIDAS is built specifically for this end link.
About MIDAS
MIDAS was founded in London in 2019 with a simple goal: to create a better alternative to the OEM Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore strap. The factory strap is expensive, stiff and uncomfortable over time. For a watch as bold as the Royal Oak Offshore, we felt collectors deserved better.
We set out to create a premium aftermarket AP rubber strap that is more comfortable, more affordable and available in colours that do justice to the watch. Inspired by the world of performance cars, from Porsche GT racing to Ferrari, every MIDAS strap is designed to complement the bold character of the Royal Oak Offshore.

FAQ
Will a MIDAS strap fit my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST?
It depends which reference you have. The three bracelet references (Panda Bracelet, Black Themes Bracelet, Blue Dial Bracelet) need separate bracelet-conversion end links first. The five dial-colourway references (Safari, Volcano, Panda, Black Themes, Navy) take a direct-fit Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap replacement.
Do I need to buy new end links?
Only if you have one of the three bracelet references (Panda Bracelet, Black Themes Bracelet, Blue Dial Bracelet), their bracelet end links are integrated and require replacement strap end links. The other five references transfer their existing OEM end links directly.
What buckle should I use?
The supplied MIDAS tang buckle in all cases. On the bracelet references, this is used after conversion. On the direct-fit references, it replaces the factory deployment clasp, which does not carry over.
What tools do I need to change the strap?
See our how-to install guide for exactly what's needed and the full process.
Is a MIDAS strap OEM or aftermarket?
MIDAS straps are a direct-fit aftermarket replacement, engineered to the exact specifications of the factory strap, so fitment, function, and finish match without needing any AP-branded parts.
Does MIDAS offer a warranty?
Every MIDAS strap is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Do you ship to my country?
Yes. MIDAS offers free worldwide shipping on every order, wherever you're based.
Trusted by Collectors
I have bought straps from another brand costing almost twice as much, but these are just as good, if not better. They are very comfortable, fit perfectly and are easy to swap. Highly recommended.
I first bought a black strap because the OEM rubber felt too stiff. MIDAS straps are much more comfortable, and I prefer the slimmer profile. I chose something bolder for my second purchase.
A great product and buying experience. My Diver had become a little boring, but this strap gave it a fresh look and much more wrist time. Fast shipping and excellent communication throughout.
I wanted a replacement after my OEM strap cracked. I did not expect an aftermarket AP rubber strap to feel this good. It is more flexible, grips well and matches the dial perfectly.
