My Nautilus is a 5726 on leather strap, which I think it is not the most beloved model here but I'm very happy with it.
Any new Nautilus model will be welcome if it respects the way I consider the Nautilus range :
- half ''vintage'' and half modern, :
The shape of the case has for me a double charm, compared for instance to the Aquanaut. It is so typically dated, it has such an unexpected sophistication that it brings me back to the past (70's) and its aesthetics (like the dial too). But meantime, the various treatment of material (brushed, polished) underlines modernity of the originel design. I don't have in mind an equivalent watch which brings both, even the APRO.
- half sporty and half classy :
In fact, there are not so many watches which can support these 2 positionings at the same time. It is probably the specificity of Genta's design. Bracelet or strap may emphasize a little bit more one trend or the other but globally, as the APRO, the Nautius is both. Of course, the metal influences also the way we can see it and the color of the dial (the white one looks to me more sporty, and the dark grey one looks more classy, and so on...)
Some of you guys ad that a Nautilus should be thin. Perhaps, but not sure for me. The chronograph is not thin and is without any doubt a Nautilus and one of the most achieved steel chronograph. The 5726 is thicker than the 5711/5712 but remains a ''thin'' watch when you have it at the wrist.
Everybody may find HIS Nautilus in the present range, depending if you want the ''pure'' 5711 or a more complicated.
The only one I don't consider as a real Nautilus is the 5990 because the 2 pushers on the left side are for me a huge betrayal to the hinge of the Nautilus case. It appears to me as a bad trick, something false, wrong.
Except this ref, let's enjoy any Nautilus !
My 2 cts opinion.
Best.
