Nautilus Travel Time Stainless Steel / Black

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. At 12.53 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. 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.

5990/1A-001 is one of 2 executions of the 5990/1A base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a black dial and a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2014.

Chronograph movement with local and home time and local and “home” day/night indication. Total of 370 parts.
