This replica Nautilus 598060 white takes the 5980/60G-001 reference and delivers a flyback chronograph in a 40.5mm white gold case with a denim-toned dial. The 5980 series represents the largest and most mechanically complex Nautilus variant, combining chronograph functionality with the integrated bracelet design that defines the entire collection. At 40.5mm, it sits noticeably larger than the standard 40mm time-only references.

Technical Overview

• Case diameter: 40.5mm
• Case material: white gold
• Dial: white/denim finish
• Crystal: sapphire
• Movement: automatic flyback chronograph
• Functions: hours, minutes, chronograph seconds, 60-minute counter, date
• Complication: flyback reset (instant restart without stop-reset-start sequence)

Flyback functionality means the chronograph hand can be reset and restarted in a single pusher press. Standard chronographs require three separate actions. This distinction matters for timing consecutive events.

Inside the Movement

The 5980 houses the CH 28-520 C caliber in genuine form, one of the more complex movements in the Nautilus catalog. The flyback mechanism adds significant parts count compared to the time-only 324 SC found in standard references. The 40.5mm case accommodates this larger movement while keeping the Nautilus case proportions intact. Within the Nautilus lineup, the 5980 sits at the top of the mechanical hierarchy. If perpetual calendar complications interest you more than chronograph functions, the 5740/1G-001 perpetual calendar trades elapsed-time measurement for astronomical tracking in a thinner 40mm case.

What Sets It Apart

White gold Nautilus chronographs occupy a narrow niche. Most 5980 variants appear in rose gold or two-tone configurations, making the 60G-001 in full white gold less common in the broader lineup. The denim-toned dial adds visual depth through subtle color variation across different lighting conditions. This replica Nautilus 598060 white puts the most mechanically ambitious Nautilus complication in a white gold package that few other references match.
