Good evening everyone.
It's still chilly, but I hope you're all staying healthy. March is here, and the cherry blossom viewing season and the time for the 2024 new model announcements are fast approaching, so I can't wait to see the cherry blossoms and talk about the new models.
Well, this time we have the first model of the popular "Nautilus" in our store, and a model made of a different material, so we would like to introduce them to you. Both models are not widely available on the market, so we recommend them to anyone looking for them! Please read to the end!
"Ref.5990/1A-011"
"Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time" SS
The Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time "Ref. 5990/1A-011" was announced as a new model for fall 2022.
The previous model, "Ref. 5990/1A-001," was sadly discontinued in 2022. The SS (stainless steel) model disappeared from the "Ref. 5990" series, and only the 18KRG (rose gold) model of "Ref. 5990/1R-001" was available... Just when we thought that, it made a surprise comeback, and many people were delighted.
Also, while the previous model had a black gradient dial, this one was released with the blue sunburst dial, which is the most popular of the Nautilus dials, so I remember being convinced that it would become even more popular than ever before.

The black gradient dial of the "Ref. 5990/1A-001" also gives a cool impression and is of course stylish, but when it comes to the "Nautilus," the blue sunburst dial is what comes to mind.
"Travel time" is a function that is especially useful for people who travel abroad. Here, we would like to briefly review how to use the travel time mechanism.
The travel time mechanism refers to a mechanism that displays the time in two time zones simultaneously. The dial has two hour hands, the normal hour hand shows the time in LOCAL (local area, place of stay) and the skeleton hour hand shows the time in HOME (place of departure, home, workplace, etc.).
▶ Press the up and down buttons at 9 o'clock on the side of the case to change the LOCAL TIME (forward and backward every hour)
▶ The date display at the 12 o'clock position is linked to the local time
There is no need to set the date separately; you can easily adjust the date and time with the push of a button, making it hassle-free and easy to use.
The movement that can be seen through the back of the skeleton case is the same as the "Ref. 5990/1A-001", the "Cal. CH 28-520 C FUS". Although the case diameter is 40.5mm, it is equipped with a chronograph mechanism in addition to the travel time mechanism, so the case thickness is 12.53mm, which is an impressive size.
Although there are some scratches and small marks from use, the unpolished case and bracelet make for a solid, impressive piece.

That's what I wanted to say, but the sale was decided before it was listed on our website... I'm so sorry!!!
This time, because it is the first time we have received this item in our store, and although it has already been decided that it will be sold, we decided to go ahead and introduce it to you as soon as possible! It is a model that is quite difficult to obtain, but we will do our best to get it in stock again so that we can provide it to you as soon as possible.
"Ref.5990/1R-001"
"Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time" 18KRG
The "Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time" series' long-awaited 18KRG (rose gold) specification, "Ref. 5990/1R-001", was released in 2021.
The blue sunburst dial features a horizontal embossed pattern and 18KRG (rose gold) parts throughout, including the hour and minute hands and the edges of the indexes, making it a perfect match for the case and bracelet. It gives off a sophisticated and glamorous impression that is different from the SS (stainless steel) model.
The movement that can be seen through the back of the skeleton case is the same as the "Ref. 5990/1A-011", the "Cal. CH 28-520 C FUS". It weighs 265g, and has a heavy feel that is comparable to its appearance. It would be cool to wear it on a special day.
Although there are some scratches and scuffs from use, the unpolished case and bracelet make for a solid, impressive piece.
