New Aquanaut by ZF is comming.

[Nivka]

why is it called grenade?

The aquanaut looks like a grenade

I was initially smitten by the Nautilus. Almost bought the PF, but it's just not good, so I'll wait. Hoping this ZF Aquanaut turns out well, I'm starting to appreciate it more than the Nautilus.

I have the PF Nautilus and I am a rare fan. I think it's a good attempt by PF. Thickness is close to gen, case and bracelet look and feel good, clasp looks good but pops open a little easy. Dial colour is close to gen, only dial markers really let it down. I'm hoping ZF with this release will produce something better than PF did with the Nautilus. If they do it'll be a very close to gen rep!!

Agree. I had one and sold it only because it felt a tad big in my tiny wrists. But as a watch, it's just gorgeous. I haven't seen any BP v2, though, maybe there's not that much difference...

I did read on article online (cannot find it right now) that the pattern on the Aquanaut, which now resembles the lines on a planisphere, was originally made to resemble the surface of a grenade (check the 5065) as it was commissioned originally as an officer watch by the military of a north African country

now that you mention it, I can see it clearly.

I can bet it's a Miyota with decorated bridges like the one used by PF, they look too similar

Reppists said that it is a Miyota 9015 movement

Someone posted this pic of the ZF dial. Not sure if this is really it or not, but found this on chinese websites.

Lots of people on the chinese side saying that none of the recent reps have gotten the 'calendar' right, so I'm encouraged that hopefully ZF have been taking notes on what's selling and what people care about.

What on earth are you talking about?

The v6f is only 9mm and uses a thicker 2824.

PF 5711 is decorated miyota and is 8.9mm

 

[SuperLory]

15202 with decorated miyota is 8.8mm also

 

[The Rod]

If it's Miyota but the deco is done directly on the bridges it could be 9mm
