AN ELEGANT WAY TO TAKE THE PLUNGE

With the Aquatimer Chronograph in 18-carat red gold on his wrist, a man can change from a diving suit directly into a dinner jacket. The imposing case with its chunky external rotating bezel is an attention-grabber on land, while the ultra-strong luminescent coating under the sapphire-glass ring guarantees optimum legibility – and admiring glances – under water. The red colour accents underscore the sporty character of a diver’s watch tested to pressures of 12 bar. Thanks to the flyback function, the chronograph can be stopped, reset and restarted, all at the touch of a button. Stopped hours and minutes are displayed on a subdial, the colour of which has been modified this year to match that of the black dial. The exclusive IWC-manufactured movement from the 89000-calibre family is equipped with IWC’s efficient double-pawl winding system. Thanks to the bracelet quick-change system* (cf. Technical details), the rubber strap with its tough stainless-steel pin buckle can be exchanged quickly and easily for a hook-and-loop strap without the need for special tools.

*The Aquatimer bracelet quick-change system has been developed by IWC under a patent license from Cartier.

The 89000-Calibre Family

Developed and manufactured completely by IWC in Schaffhausen, the 89360-calibre chronograph movement features a significantly improved self-winding system and sets watchmaking standards. The design, which occupied an IWC development team for a full 4 years, was necessitated by a revolutionary chronograph display that enables the user to read off even relatively long times – 8 hours and 52 minutes, for example – at a glance: a circular totaliser combines the hour and minute counters as if they were a watch within a watch. Apart from this, the winding system now has four instead of two pawls to transmit the energy developed by the rotor, increasing the mechanism’s efficiency by a noticeable 30 percent. After further development, the movement was known as the 89800 calibre and used for the large digital date and month displays in the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month.
