Impressed and surprised by the blue dial of the 5811/1G. Also surprised, but not impressed by the blue dial of the 5990/1A.
This means only one thing in my book: Bye bye to the simple date time Nautilus in steel. For good. If PP intended to re introduce to regular production a 5811/1A at some point, they would probably keep the blue dial for that. Maybe a - very - limited run of a 5811/1A and/or 5811/1P with different color dials will surface in 2026. But, that’s it. An end of an era.
In other news, these releases today tell me that we are officially done with the 5980R and /1R in a couple of months. Also, a new Nautilus chrono is coming next year or the year after.
PS: Favorite new references are the Aquanaut rainbow 7968 (WOW!) and the most PP of them all, the 5204G.
PS 2: Still waiting for a 25th Anniversary Aquanaut - this 7968 is not it.
