Along with the brand's Nautilus, this model continues to lead the popularity of luxury sports watches, and is the first Aquanaut model equipped with a chronograph, the Ref. 5968A-001, which was announced at Baselworld in 2018. The orange scale, chronograph hands, and tropical band are eye-catching, and the watch is made entirely of WG (white gold) and uses Superluminova paint, making it highly visible.

Modric is also known as a watch lover and owns several watches, so we would like to introduce another one to you.

It comes in a 40mm case, 1mm smaller than the previous model. The movement "Cal.3255" developed for this model boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Among Rolex models, only the "Day Date" has a "day of the week" and "calendar" function, and one of the points is that it creates a unique premium feel!
