I really enjoy this years newcomer lineup. The following stand out as very welcome additions:
- 5650G. Looks amazing and finally to have these innovations in a sportier watch. Perfect way to celebrate Aquanaut 20th! Would have preferred it in steel, or even platinum for that matter. Platinum on rubber would have been perfect limited edition piece.
- 5168G. Looks fantastic. Yes some qualms about the larger size, but in this case I think it works. It is a sports watch and to some 40mm just will not do. Just not sure why it needs to be in white gold as steel seems more appropriate but like it nevertheless.
- 5170P. Wow. this is wow. No words other than wow.
- 5960G. Superb. Takes away from the allure of the Moscow edition I must say, so feel a tiny bit sorry for owners of that. But this is simply amazing.
- 5131P. Ok it needed to be done. Not sure about bracelet but hey, this is a piece of art and not a comfy daily wearer so may not matter as much. But would think most prospective owners would have preferred it was on a strap.
Overall, was hoping to see a new Nautilus released. If not entire new reference then perhaps a version of the 5990 at least. One the whole perhaps too much blue, but it is the color of choice these days it seems. Worry it may get a little too much. Say I was liking the pieces highlighted above, I would be less likely to buy too more than one given I may be full on blue in the box. Would have like to see some more earthy tones perhaps. 5170P with a light tan dial and diamond markers perhaps?
Top on my list is clearly 5650G. I reckon there will be many divided opinions on this piece but this is looks like something that could fit in my box.... dream box at least!
Is there a list of discontinued references by the way?
