Condition:
The watch is in 8.5/10 in great condition where it maintains its original shape and design. Overall there are normal wear across the bezel with no major dents, where the case have normal swirl marks and moderate scratches from normal use. The two rubber straps included are both close to full length. Watch is in normal running order.
Our Thoughts:
As the little brother of the Nautilus, the Aquanaut inherited alot of the design cues from the famous Gerald Genta design. The unique bezel shape sculpts the overall aesthetics of the watch which is very similar to the Nautilus, but what sets it apart is the dial design. With the strong guilloche patterns that almost looks like the body of a grenade, the dial has depth and with the strong minute tracker and lumes, it gives a more sporty look compared to the more grown up Nautilus.
We absolutely love the proportions of the 5065A, at 38mm the watch is relatively thin at 8mm, it hugs the wrist extremely well with with rubber strap, it is probably my pick for the summers thats getting hotter and hotter.
