Nautilus 5980 Blue

In Context

At 40.5 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 120 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 55 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5980/1A-001 is one of 3 executions of the 5980/1A base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a blue dial and a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2006.
