Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Watch Review

This means that the 5980/1A-019 (the white-colored-dial Nautilus Chrono) will will be in production for just 2 yrs.

Since we’re speaking about Patek here, productions figures are rather low, which reference has become a really rare bird which we predict to get very collectible. Even though the other steel 5980/1A models aren't as rare (but super-rare over a Rolex Submariner, for example), we wouldn't be surprised to determine the prices climb since the demand can't be satisfied at Patek boutiques only around the secondary market. However, let’s check out the model that became a member of the Nautilus family 2014, whose additional second-time-zone function works similar to the one out of these Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time, introduced this year

Around the dial, we have seen the chronograph register at 6 o’clock, and, much like that around the Aquanaut Travel Time, it provides a pointer-date, put on top of the area of the dial. The date indication is attached to the local time, that is your travel destination. When you are traveling, it may be adjusted both backward and forward, to follow along with the date of times zone where you stand. Towards the right and left around the dial are a couple of small apertures, which indicate night and day both in the neighborhood time zone and also the home time zone. The chronograph pushers - to begin, stop and reset to zero - are on the left-hands side from the situation, much like around the Nautilus Chronograph Ref. 5980/1A. In which the old 5980/1A were built with a 60-minute and 12-hour sign up for calculating passed time, the ref. 5990/1A just one 60-minute counter. When you won’t have the ability to measure how lengthy that intercontinental flight required any longer, the altered subdial is cleaner and simpler to see. Along with the additional pointer-date register, that’s a great factor.

Around the left-hands side from the situation are a couple of pushers for altering the neighborhood time zone when you are traveling. 

Design-wise.Patek Philippe did perfectly here, since these pushers seem like the normal “ears” from the Nautilus situation. However, adding them forced Patek to alter the model’s typical two-part situation for a classical three-part situation. Even though the entire situation construction has altered, the diameter continues to be 40.5 mm and also the situation continues to be water-resistant against 120 meters. Even the overall situation thickness isn't much greater (the state information is not given) compared to 5980’s thickness of 12.6 mm. Whenever we saw the very first images, we “feared” the timepiece could be too thick and too busy around the dial. After giving it a go around the wrist, we’re believing that our fears were groundless.

The movement from the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph

Caliber 28-520 C FUS, starts with similar base caliber since it's predecessor however, we have an additional module for that two timezones (known as “FUS”) - again, exactly the same module utilized in the Aquanaut Travel Time.
