More Information
Specialist note
Fresh and clearly aimed at a younger, more adventurous buyer – the Aquanaut was the first model from the Geneva maison to come fitted with a tropical rubber strap – the Aquanaut was sports-luxe before it became a retail buzzword. Though the original reference was a modest 35.6-mm.
Reference 5968
Released in 2018 in a stainless steel case, the Aquanaut ref. 5968A-001 stands out with a remarkable aesthetic appeal. Typified by its striking orange chronograph hands gliding over the small 60-minute register and across the black dial, the contrast is youthful and dynamic. It features hours, minutes, date, chronograph and 60-minute register. The 42.2 mm. case, water-resistant to 120 metres, houses the 32 jewel automatic caliber CH 28-520 C, the movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
