Description: When launched in 1997, the Aquanaut created a sensation. It was young, modern and unexpected. Its case was a rounded octagon, inspired by that of the Nautilus. And it sported a “tropical” strap, made of a new composite material ultra-resistant to wear, salt water and uv radiation.

The 5167A-001 could potentially be the Aquanaut par excellence. It is a three-hand, self-winding movement with date display is most similar to the original model. The characteristic shape of the dial is perfectly showcased in a beautiful black. The applied gold numerals and luminous hour markers make a powerful contrast against their background. The stainless-steel case measures 40.0 x 8.1 millimeters, while a first-class self-winding movement operates within it in the form of the 324 S C caliber. With a height of just 3.3 millimeters, the mechanical microcosm houses 213 components and a central rotor made of 21k yellow gold.
