Instead, we got the opaline blue-gray dial, embossed Aquanaut pattern, and white link gold case and a $63,040 price tag. Based on the photos, I was afraid the dial would be too light blue to be wearable for someone like me who likes something link more low-key. While it's not the classic 5164A I've dreamed of link for years, it seems darker in person and shifts with the light. That means it feels like it could be a decent daily wear option if you're so lucky.

My daily link wear is the original Black Bay 58, so the case dimensions of 39mm wide and 12mm thick were immediately familiar to me, as is the movement inside. The satin-brushed case is perfect for a stripped-down, no-frills tool watch, the kind that has the type of immediate legibility and simplicity I'd link hope for link if I was reaching for a watch to take into a field expedition.
