Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Blue Dial Clone 40.8mm

Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Blue Dial Steel Case Clone – Full Overview

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Blue Dial Steel Case Clone captures the essence of the legendary dual-time 5164A while introducing a fresh blue aesthetic. With a precisely shaped steel case, embossed dial, dual-time mechanism, and a comfortable Tropical strap, this model preserves the functional sophistication of the original while delivering exceptional wearability. Every component—from the case geometry to the day/night indicators—reflects a careful reconstruction of Patek Philippe’s iconic Travel Time architecture.

Stainless-Steel Case with Signature Dual-Time Pushers

This timepiece maintains the original proportions with a 40.8mm case crafted from high-grade stainless steel. The rounded-octagonal silhouette stays faithful to Patek Philippe’s design language, combining brushed surfaces with polished edges for a refined and balanced appearance.

On the left side of the case is the recognizable “shark-fin” shaped dual-time pusher system, allowing the wearer to move the skeletonized central hour hand forward or backward when adjusting the second timezone. This intuitive mechanism mirrors the functionality of the authentic 5164A, making timezone corrections extremely efficient for frequent travelers.

Embossed Dial with Dual-Time Display, Day/Night Windows & Date Pointer

The model features an embossed dial with Aquanaut’s signature grid texture. Each metal Arabic numeral is applied individually, carefully polished, and filled with Super-Luminova for excellent legibility in low-light conditions.

Just like the authentic Travel Time, the watch displays “HOME” and “LOCAL” windows at 3 and 9 o’clock. These square day/night apertures switch between blue and white to indicate AM/PM status for each timezone—an essential detail for accurate travel functionality.

At 6 o’clock, a pointer-date subdial ensures smooth date jumps and maintains perfect visual symmetry. The layout successfully preserves the characteristic hierarchy of the 5164A display, with a clean, functional aesthetic suitable for both everyday wear and refined styling.

Cal.330-Based Automatic Movement with Authentic 324 SC FUS Functionality

Inside the watch is a precisely engineered automatic movement modeled on the genuine Patek Philippe 324 SC FUS calibre. The manufacturer has achieved the full Travel Time functionality by building the dual-timezone module atop a reliable Cal.330 base. This module enables the independent forward/backward movement of the skeletonized hour hand while keeping the HOME timezone stable.

Key movement enhancements include:

• Finely engraved plates and bridges with crisp finishing
• Swiss-grade bearing system for the rotor, achieving near-silent winding
• No fake balance wheel or dummy components—mechanical architecture follows the genuine layout
• Stable AM/PM switching for both HOME and LOCAL windows
• Precise date-pointer movement without misalignment or hesitation

Despite its mechanical complexity, the movement retains the correct profile to reproduce the original 8.3mm case thickness, ensuring the same elegant wrist presence as the authentic 5164A.

Sport-Inspired Tropical Rubber Strap

The watch is paired with the iconic Tropical rubber strap, known for its durability, flexibility, and comfort. Resistant to moisture, extreme temperatures, and daily wear, this strap is perfectly suited for an active lifestyle. Its embossed texture integrates seamlessly with the dial’s geometric pattern, creating a cohesive and balanced appearance.

The folding clasp incorporates an upgraded Patek Philippe emblem, ensuring precise alignment and secure fastening around the wrist.

A Modern, Functional Travel-Ready Luxury Watch

With its steel case, dual-time complication, embossed dial, and comfortable Tropical strap, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Blue Dial Clone embodies the spirit of contemporary luxury travel. It offers a harmonious blend of practicality, elegance, and mechanical authenticity—designed for collectors who admire the original 5164A but seek an accessible alternative without compromise.
