The reference 5167 was introduced in 2007 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Aquanaut. Inspired by the original Aquanaut design, this new version is updated for modern times.


It features an enlarged case and a reinterpreted dial. The 40mm case is the largest ever to be introduced in the Aquanaut line. The strap was given a slight upgrade too, as it now fits to the curvature of the watch, giving the impression that the dial texture extends seamlessly into the strap.


The 5167A remains in the manufacture's collection today, proving this modern interpretation has stood the test of time.
