Discovering new sport watches from Patek Philippe
The Geneva watch-making company has enriched its sport watches Nautical collection with the new series of Aquanaut watches. These watches prove once again the innovative spirit of the company and embody the classical understanding of the word sport watches. This series is designed mostly for the young and sporty people, who strive for accuracy and perfection.
The new Aquanaut watches are available in three sizes, which represent the main variants of this series. They come either in small, medium or large sizes and the features of each item don't differ fundamentally.
The base material of the Aquanaut watch series is steel, which is rather unusual for Patek Philippe. However, steel is the best material for sport related watches. It is a solid metal, which perfectly passes the making of water resistant watches. Actually, everything in this series says "no water allowed", even the strap.
All the size variants have almost the same features, though the "Large" sized Aquanaut is designed for big sport wrist, whereas the other two sizes ("Small" and "Medium") will fit both men and women with wrists smaller in size.
As for the technical characteristics of these watches, you could find that the "Small" and the "Large" sized variants are powered by the self-winding mechanical movement, based on the patented Caliber 315 SC. The "Medium" variant is powered by the Caliber 330 SC, which differs from the first one by a date display positioned more centrally.
The Movement Limits Production
The movement powering the watch is a very complex structural unit and it takes almost a year to assemble one mechanical movement of this type. The Patek Philippe quality is well-known among the watch collectors and connoisseurs, but nevertheless all of the movements are subjected to all kinds of durability and accuracy tests. In addition these units are also certified by the Geneva Seal, which actually limits the quantity to be produced, because it proves that all of the movement parts are made and finished per hand.
Specifically Designed
The design of the Aquanaut bears the main distinctive feature of the whole Nautical collection – the octagonal bezel, designed to resemble a porthole. This is a trademarked feature of the brand and you will surely recognize at once the Patek Philippe design.
The hour markers and the hands of the watch are made in white gold, and the latter feature a glow-in-the-dark coating for perfect time view under any light.
The large-sized Aquanaut is also equipped with a sapphire-crystal case back, where you can see every tiny movement of the complex engine. This feature bears only the large-sized watch, whereas the other two are covered with a steel back.
The "Water-resistant" Straps
The "Tropical" straps, which are linked to the stainless steel case is also a patented invention of the Patek Philippe and it perfectly suits the destination of the watch – to be a water friendly watch. The strap sits tightly on the wearer's wrist and you can really say that it is a water friendly strap, because it is immune to the salt water and ultraviolet radiation; in addition, it doesn't provoke any skin allergies. The stainless steel folding clasp on the "Tropical" strap features the famous Calatrava Cross engraved on its surface.
One of the additional versions of these watches is the Aquanaut with a stainless steel bracelet, which is specially designed to be an extension of the unusual design of the dial itself. This model features only the self-winding movement. These watches are available either in medium or in large size and are also delivered with an additional "Tropical" strap, so you could choose between the two straps for a particular occasion.
