PRESS RELEASE

Pier 25 returns in grand style. Its large 48-millimeter case encloses a heart that will continue beating at depths of up to 200 meters. But there are more references to the nautical world. The dial is sophisticated and represents the synthesis of the style that has set Nautica apart since 1983. The iconic flags used as indexes look their very best against a contrasting background that creates a wave-like effect. The bezel stands out with the contrasting colour to signify the first quarter.

The monochrome silicone strap with the wording Nautica is integrated for a look that is truly sporty. Pier 25 shares its name with the longest and most glamorous pier on the Hudson River in New York, confirming its status as a style icon for people who like to be noticed but don't want to surrender their freedom and
desire of reaching new goals.

The rhythmic ticking of the hands is like music playing as you journey towards new horizons. This season Freeboard has doubled up to bring to life two models that adapt to a free and dynamic spirit. One version has a stainless steel bracelet, which symbolizes strength and gives the watch strong character by transforming it into a fundamental element for a perfect look. The other variant has a silicone strap, with a double colour injection, and was designed for people wanting something more dynamic and comfortable without ignoring the resistance and practicality that have always characterized Nautica's timepieces. There are also two versions for the movement which runs these watches: Japanese three-hand or multifunction. The latter encloses a double soul: on the one hand it is sporty and inspired by the nautical world, on the other it is urban and style oriented.

The dial has two subdials, one for the date and the other with the 24-hour indicator. Even the bezel, with the first quarter in contrast and matching the second hand, is full of personality. And for people wanting to experience adventures by the moonlight, the hands and indexes light up in the dark.

Less is more. A rule that also applies to watches and which Nautica has followed for the Caprera, a "passe-partout" that can be worn in all circumstances. With its minimalist features, the slim and linear case, resistant to depths of up to 50 meters, is perfect for people who know that every minute is precious and who want to live their lives in style.

The clean dial features references to the Nautica universe with three different chromatic interpretations and combinations of the nautical flags. There are also two variations for the strap: fabric and leather. Because time goes by and fashion changes, but one thing is truly timeless: style. And in its simplicity, Caprera is the pure essence of it.

Polignano represents the meeting point between Nautica's know-how and the desires of a free spirit ready to set for new adventures. This precise combination has given rise to a collection characterised by colour, personality and a distinctive look. A truly original feature is the 36-millimeter case, smaller than other models, which makes it perfect for both men and women. They say that life is more beautiful in colour and, with the silicone strap featuring a double colour injection and the contrasting N83 logo, Polignano offers wide proof of this.

The possibilities range from yellow, which symbolizes light and sun, to white and blue, the on-trend nuance for autumn 2019. Even the dial, with its abundance of details, will not go unnoticed. There are the iconic flags, which symbolize the Nautica style, as indexes and N83 logo at 6 o'clock. Even the bezel has no shortage of unmistakable details like the monochromatic flags. This is a strong timepiece, that is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters. It is dynamic and rebellious at heart, just like people who can't wait to get to the next beach in search of the perfect wave to surf.

Urban Surf is the ideal model for crossing through the jungle of city life and stylishly setting off towards new horizons. Enthusiasts of the sporty-chic style won't be able to resist the vintage leather strap, with the visible contrasting stitching, or the silicone model which is lighter and more practical, has matching tones and a wavy strap, which is a nod to the sea.

The case, which encloses the heart of the Urban Surf, is made from stainless steel and is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters. The bezel is inspired by the Nautica tradition with the unmistakable contrasting flags on the first quarter. The simple and minimalist lines of the dial are embellished by the date window positioned at 3 o'clock and the contrasting N83 logo. With its sophisticated design, Urban Surf has all the credentials to become the real must-have for fall 2019.

If you find it hard to resist the call of the seas, the lure of the depths and the desire to glimpse the world's most beautiful reefs; if you cannot wait to visit Chole Wall in Tanzania or the Cocos Island marine reserve in Costa Rica, there can only be one watch for you: the Tarpoon Dive. With its eye-catching, bold silhouette, this is a model which oozes style and a pinch of verve, such as the nautical flag placed at 6 o'clock.

The case is inspired by classic diving watches and features a large-size crown. It has been designed to withstand depths of up to 200 metres and is fitted with an upper bezel which turns in both directions. The reference to the diving world does not end there. The silicone strap, available in black or navy blue, features an embossed diving scale which makes it unique of its kind. Then there is the dial, the undisputed protagonist in deep-sea diving. The luminous indices marked in different shades stand out, including lime green and coral. This makes them easy to read even at great depths or when visibility is poor.

Porthole Skeleton is a watch with no secrets. The second edition of the model designed to celebrate 25 years of Nautica Watches has had a makeover. Once again, Porthole Skeleton is ready to surprise everyone with a design which is both technical yet sophisticated. Starting with the iconic case which recalls the porthole, enveloping a high, skeleton-cut dial which reveals the gears of the watch's beating heart: an automatic-winding mechanical movement. In true Nautica style, the flags return in the form of indices and screw crowns.

Even the shade of blue chosen for the silicone strap, and the case of the model which represents Nautical's ongoing research, is a declaration of love to the sea. And if it is true that it's the details that make the difference, the porthole on top of the box will not go unnoticed; it affords a glimpse of the Porthole Skeleton, as if it were a gem from the seas to be admired.

Have you decided the time has come to change your watch? Or perhaps you are looking for a gift that will leave the recipient open-mouthed? Take a look at the Hammock box set. For the Summer '19 collection, it is available in two versions.

The steel bracelet strap is paired with a navy blue silicone strap, making it perfect for those in search of an accessory that catches the eye, whether worn with a suit for meetings or with sporty attire on a boat. The second box set, designed for those who prefer a more casual yet striking look, encloses two silicone straps, one navy and one red. The dial sees clean lines and finds unusual guilloché craftsmanship inspired by waves.

There are other details that capture attention, such as the two-tone upper ring in blue and red, and the crown and calendar at 4. In the Hammock range, the American maison has also included two other variations with a canvas strap: black with the first quarter of the crown in red, or blue with a case in rose gold steel. Every model can withstand depths of 100 metres, allowing them to accompany you on your deep-sea explorations.

Bayside is no ordinary watch. It is a must-have for those who love the sea. And after notching up the title of most-sold collection ever, it is ready to take on the summer season with a new feature: the innovative chrono solar movement. A characteristic not to be underestimated, given that on a sunny day it takes only five hours (16 on cloudy days) to achieve a full charge which will last for four months.

How does one keep an eye on charge levels? Just press the button on the right-hand side and check the counter in the middle of the dial. In addition, when the charge drops, to save energy the second-hand halves the number of "beats", moving at two-second intervals instead of the usual one-second interval. Bayside is also about design, starting with the steel bracelet strap for those in search of a striking watch, or the silicone strap in black, navy blue and red, perfect for those whose calling card is sporty-chic. The dial is that of an elegant chronograph whose hallmark is its sophisticated detailing, including delicate lines that contrast with the bottom of the case, clearly marked indices and a shaded bezel that matches the strap.

Three variations, one single style icon. Accra Beach is the perfect model for leaving one's mark. Those with a keen eye for the latest trends will be won over by the canvas Nato strap with contrasting rubberised N83 logo, slightly raised and set below the dial. The colours range from timeless total navy, as blue as sea waves with white indices and logo, to gunmetal grey teamed with lime green, one of the most popular colours for the sunny season. For those who prefer comfort, the model with the silicone strap and contrasting N83 logo in dark blue and black is ideal.

Those who prefer a more classic line but still enjoy a touch of glamour can opt for the steel model and the version with a blue or black dial matching the bezel. Yet that is not all. Accra Beach is also available in an elegant box set which encloses the dual spirit of this watch, which in a few seconds shifts from a formal style to a more sporting one. Inside the box, a steel or canvas strap with the rubberised blue N83 make a striking impact. Perfect for teaming with a steel dial, with contrasting blue and orange indices.

Wakeland is a model to be experienced and discovered. Six timepieces are available. All share a design that is simple yet at the same time packed with details that render it unmistakeable. Starting with the strap, which is available in two variations: Nato and silicone. The former is available in tan leather with a pale blue and white striped insert, or in navy blue leather with striped navy blue and white canvas. Both are teamed with a linear dial, whilst hands and indices flawlessly match the stripes of the strap.

The Wakeland with the canvas strap is more sporting and colourful. In this case, the first quarter of the dial recalls the colour on the stripes of the strap. Navy blue with a side stripe in yellow and white; navy blue with stripes in orange and grey; black contrasting with the white and lime green bands; and last but not least, white with coral and blue detailing. Six styles, six different spirits, six ways of looking towards the summer. Six watches, all perfect for those in search of a model that is both versatile yet elegant.

If you are looking for a watch that will become a trusty companion on your adventures, Cocoa Beach is the right model for you. Bold, vibrant hues, sporting silhouettes and classy detailing. The real novelty is the solar movement, with a duration of up to two months, in all six watches. The beating heart behind the Cocoa Beach is the solar cell set beneath the dial. It has been designed to convert any kind of light into energy and store it in a secondary battery. The watch comes with two straps, one in canvas for those with a keen eye for trends and one in silicone for people who have made sport a way of life. For the canvas version, the dial is available in navy blue and black. It features the classic contrasting indices that also light up in the dark, a calendar at 3 o'clock and a fixed top bezel.

Three straps are available, creating strong, bold combinations: total black with an amaranth side strip and N83 logo and two vertical lines in white, and two in blue with a pale blue band down the side. Nautical sport enthusiasts will be enraptured by the model with a silicone strap available in blue, black and orange, with an embossed white N83 logo.
The flags act as indices, recalling one of the elements that has distinguished the brand since 1983. Yet the nautical inspiration does not stop here. It withstands depths of up to 50 metres, and the compass points are found on the fixed bezel. Two spirits in just one watch, designed to accompany you on your sailing exploits or on your surfboard.

The keyword of Soledad South is adventure. A style code which is an integral part of a model designed to give its very best under every circumstance. A strong, determined spirit, thanks to its 46-millimetre steel case which can withstand depths of up to 100 metres. With its instrumental dial, Soledad South lavishes the utmost attention on detailing. It allows tides and temperature to be read off precisely, whilst the compass provides orientation in any condition, including moonlit adventures. The details upon which Nautica has built its reputation are as present as ever. The nautical flags all see a return appearance, as do the red, white and blue used for the skeleton-cut hands.

For those that sail the seas, the hands are vital for marking time even in the dark, thanks to the Indiglo technology used. This technology lights up the whole watch face, making it impossible to miss a single second. Soledad South is also about comfort, with its woven blue silicone strap which is the perfect companion for any crossing, a cruise on a sailing boat, an afternoon out at the seaside or a dinner, perhaps in the company of friends in search of adventure

Two souls, two worlds, but just one watch: Ocean Beach. Red, like the passion which drives men to seek new thrills. In steel, a symbol of the strength and resistance needed to overcome one's limits. The look of this watch designed to surprise might have changed, but the core hasn't. Starting with the 46-millimetre case, which houses a Japanese chronograph movement with a day indicator set at 4 o' clock which can withstand depths of up to 100 metres.

Travel lies at the heart of the Ocean Beach. Its external red bezel shows all 24 time bands, each with its own time zone. More than just a watch, it is a world timekeeper, designed for the modern traveller; its alarm function will ensure the wearer never misses a connecting flight. This multifunction watch features a silhouette designed down to the finest detail. It embodies the bold character and class of Nautica, created with unique elements to thrill sporting and dynamic spirits. A watch for those who never want to go unnoticed.

Certain watches are designed to be loyal travelling companions, for sharing precious experiences. One example is the Bay Ho collection. The five models see five different variations, all designed for those who cannot do without unique style and elegance. One thing hasn't changed, though: Nautica's ingrained quality standards. Starting from the 46-millimetre case, a body which can withstand depths of up to 100 metres, with a multifunction dial indicating the day and date, and a crown protector in red anodised steel.

It is a timekeeper with a sophisticated look, right down to the details that render it unique. The boating lifestyle spirit is engraved on the fixed upper bezel upon which the flags, the cornerstone of the nautical world, transform Bay Ho into a truly unmistakeable collection. The brand's hallmark elements include the navy colours with pops of accents such red and white. Each model has its own style, and each is played out in the combinations of materials used, such as the strap in silicone or stainless steel, and colours which are used in a way that ensures they leave their mark.
