Reference 5164A (steel)

For the first time in 2011, the Aquanaut received complication in the form of a second-timezone function shown via a fourth hand and two apertures on the dial that indicate whether you are reading local or home time.  The GMT hand is independently adjustable via the pushers on the left hand-side of the case, making setting the time very easy as one travels across various time zones.

The only dial variation available for this reference is the Tiffany signature on the dial, which is only featured on watches sold by Tiffany & Co in New York.
