The reference 5980 is the largest and one of the sportiest Nautilus models to date. It houses the new self-winding automatic column-wheel chronograph movement, calibre 28-520 C, featuring a sweep centre seconds/chronograph hand with flyback function. The unusual mono-counter sub-dial indicates elapsed time on two concentric scales graduated from 0 to 30 and from 30 to 60, with the central section being calibrated as a 12-hour counter.
