As a sibling to the steel version, the Aquanaut Travel Time is now coming back onstage with the gentle warmth of rose gold and a brown dial. This exceptionally convenient traveler’s companion is endowed with a self-winding movement. The two buttons in the left-hand case flank can be used to move the local-time hour hand forward or backward in one-hour increments. The date is coupled with the local time indication.
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.
