Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST Strap Guide: Vampire, Batman, Elephant, Safari, Havana & Tobacco Replacement Straps
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST is one of the most recognisable 42mm Offshore chronographs on the market, produced across seven distinctive Mega Tapisserie dial colourways that have each earned their own collector nickname: Navy, Vampire, Batman, Elephant, Tobacco, Safari and Havana. Every reference shares the same 42mm stainless steel case, bezel, chronograph movement and 20mm tang buckle, distinguished only by dial and strap colour. That shared design means an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap replacement fits all seven the same way, and it's made the 26470ST one of the most widely traded modern Offshore references on the pre-owned market today.
Looking for an OEM replacement strap for your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST? MIDAS straps are designed as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement, compatible with the factory end links and tang buckle, so there's no compromise swapping away from the factory strap. This guide covers exact fitment for every colourway in the 26470ST family, in all 14 MIDAS colours, with free shipping and a lifetime warranty.

The short answer for the whole family: all seven references use the standard 42mm Offshore end link and come on a factory rubber/leather strap, so every AP Offshore rubber strap from MIDAS fits directly, reusing your existing OEM end links. No extra parts required.
Navy (26470ST.OO.A027CA.01)
The Navy is the 26470ST at its cleanest: a deep blue Mega Tapisserie dial against the steel case, one of the most versatile colourways in the family for everyday wear.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie blue dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
An AP 26470ST strap replacement is a direct fit on the Navy. No end link changes needed, so a 26470ST rubber strap swaps straight onto the factory setup.

Vampire (26470ST.OO.A101CR.01)
The Vampire is the 26470ST's black-dial reference and arguably the most searched-for nickname in the family: a stealthy, all-black Mega Tapisserie face that's become a favourite among Offshore collectors.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie black dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
The Vampire takes a 26470ST replacement strap without any modification. Since it ships on the standard 42mm Offshore end link, a Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST strap installs directly.

Batman (26470ST.OO.A028CR.01)
The Batman pairs its blue and black Mega Tapisserie dial for one of the boldest looks in the 26470ST range, a colourway built to stand out rather than blend in.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie blue/black dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
Matching the Batman is straightforward once you know it accepts any AP Royal Oak Offshore strap built for the standard 42mm end link, including the full Audemars Piguet 26470ST strap range.

Elephant (26470ST.OO.A104CR.01)
The Elephant takes its name from its grey Mega Tapisserie dial, a muted, understated finish that pairs well with both formal and casual Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap options.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie grey dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
No conversion parts are needed to fit an AP rubber strap to the Elephant. Its end link is shared across the whole 26470ST family, so an Audemars Piguet Offshore replacement strap goes on exactly like the factory original did.

Tobacco (26470ST.OO.A099CR.01)
The Tobacco pairs a brown and blue Mega Tapisserie dial, a warmer, more distinctive combination than its steel-toned siblings.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie brown/blue dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
Swapping to a 26470ST replacement strap on the Tobacco is as simple as it gets. The standard end link means an AP Offshore strap replacement needs nothing beyond the strap itself.

Safari (26470ST.OO.A801CR.01)
The Safari pairs an ivory and brown Mega Tapisserie dial, a lighter, more understated finish than its darker siblings, popular for warm-weather and summer wear.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie ivory/brown dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
The Safari accepts an AP Offshore band with zero fitment issues, since a Royal Oak Offshore rubber band uses the same standard end link found across the entire 26470ST range.

Havana (26470ST.OO.A820CR.01)
The Havana wears a rich brown Mega Tapisserie dial, giving it one of the warmest, most distinctive looks in the 26470ST family.
Specs: Stainless steel case · Mega Tapisserie brown dial · 20mm tang buckle · Direct-fit standard end link
For the Havana, an AP watch strap swap is completely straightforward: an Audemars Piguet replacement strap fits directly onto the factory end link, no extra hardware required.

Fitment Guide: Does a MIDAS Strap Fit My 26470ST?
Every Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore rubber strap replacement for this family works the same way, since all seven references (Navy, Vampire, Batman, Elephant, Tobacco, Safari, and Havana) use AP's standard 42mm Offshore end link and come from the factory on a rubber/leather strap, not a bracelet. That means:
- ✅ No special parts needed. Reuse your existing OEM end links. A MIDAS AP Royal Oak Offshore strap connects directly.
- ✅ Buckle: All seven use AP's 20mm factory tang buckle. Use your existing OEM buckle, or the MIDAS tang buckle included with your order.
- ✅ Sizing: Standard 42mm Offshore lug width across the whole family. No reference-specific sizing quirks.
- ✅ Installation: See our step-by-step installation guide for exactly what's involved.
Available in all 14 MIDAS colours, with free shipping and a lifetime warranty on every replacement strap.

FAQ
Will a MIDAS strap fit my exact 26470ST reference, regardless of dial colour?

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.
