Dear Anaroku, I have seen the 5990R sample at my AD in last week.

1. The blue dial looks like the one of 5740G, ie sun burst blue dial with no gradient from periphery to center. My AD said it’s the same dial colour as 5740G, but I find it’s texture is slightly more coarse.

2. The clasp is the new type as 5740. Ie with 4 tiny claws operated by the two side buttons. More secure than the old Aquanaut one.

Best,
Henry

I have ２ questions about 5990R. If anyone knows please let me know. （The photo is a quote from the internet.　thanks）

①Is the blue color of the dial the same as the texture and quality of # 5980AR? ②Is the structure of the clasp part （ push method ）of the integrated bracelet the first attempt by PP? Is the mechanism the same as that of ♯5167　bracelet? ＃5168 design ...

Looks to me like the same as used on the 5164.

Hi Anaroku, the 5990R's new clasp is similar to the 5740G's, which is in turn similar to the Aquanaut range & new ladies Nautilus 7118A & R. To my eyes, the blue is close to that of the 5980AR but I must say it changes in different lighting & directions

Side note new ladies Nautilus 7118A & R allow for slight length adjustment which the men's versions does not allow. Hope photos below help. I do prefer the blue of the 5740G though … ...

Thank you very much Ifoo. The 5740 clasp is also this type, isn't it? I did not know

Yes the new 5990R and 5740G share the same new "butterfly like" double clasp ... for me this is the biggest practical improvement to the Nautilus range and I hope they do so for the rest of the Nautilus series. Pity the 5711-014 will be the old clasp ...

Maybe you have both?　Ifoo 、 If so, it ’s amazing.

Hello Shun, here's a couple of pictures I just took for you of the 5167 clasp if it helps (just in time, as it's going back to the bank in a couple of hours! ;-) Cheers.

...

thank you for your addition of [R]. and #5167 clasp foto.

It looks a little different, but the push type mechanism is the same. Or No, is the location of the pin that hooks on the bracelet different?

a little different system?

By: anaroku : May 26th, 2021-07:13

It looks ＃5168 has no hook near the pusher. But is it because only by photo angle ? 5990 has a pin ...

I can take a look at the press material if I find something, but I have yet to see the 5990R in person (my trip to Milano is postponed to June 16 because of the curfews ;-) Hopefully an owner can address your question before I do :-) Cheers.

In fact, if you look at the clasp of 5168G closely, you can see the two small hooks/ claws, just opposite to the side buttons. I think it is the same as the new nautilus clasp, just the part of calatrava cross is slightly different.
