The 2018 Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A versus the Travel Time 5164A
Don't we all have them! Well in my case, it would be "
should I pull the trigger on the 5968A?"
After having the opportunity to see one in the metal yesterday and comparing it to my 5164, I have to say that the new chrono version would perhaps compliment my humble Aquanaut collection.
Pros. The similarity [to the 5164] and balance of the dial layout ticks the boxes. Love the orange detailing as how a chrono should be emphasized.
Cons. The thickness at 11,9 and the diameter at 42,2mm of the chrono version. Not a huge fan of the date window, plus the white date dial - it would look more discrete if reversed imho, and perhaps I could live with it.
Each of the function would compliment the other watch - I just have to wear them on each wrist! Hahahaha...
Please excuse my poor attempt to photograph these babies
