IWC Aquatimer
IWC Aquatimer: A diving watch impresses with technical masterpieces
The IWC Aquatimer models impress with innovative technology and a maritime aesthetic. Sophisticated and robust, they prove themselves in the water and on land. With these powerful diving watches, the manufacturer from Schaffhausen not only demonstrates finesse. They also testify to a deep connection to the world of water.
Sporty and elegant design
The history of the Aquatimer goes back to the 1960s. During these years, diving became increasingly popular. The Swiss watch company therefore launched its first diving watch. 1967 was the year when the IWC Aquatimer was born. The diving watch for men could withstand pressures of up to 2 bar. An internal rotating ring is designed to measure diving time. It can be easily operated using a crown.
Testimony of inventiveness
Since its launch, the IWC Aquatimer watch line has continued to impress with its extraordinary innovations. The inner rotating ring was fitted with a mechanical depth gauge and a split-minute hand. This outstanding technology in the Aquatimer also reflects the close relationship between the company and underwater research. IWC supports important projects to explore the oceans. The cooperation has resulted in sensational special models. These include the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "Galapagos Islands" and the Edition "Expedition Charles Darwin".
New model variants
The new collection also offers many variants of robust timepieces. All watches are perfectly designed for diving. Of course, they can also be worn on land. IWC's luxurious sports watches are aimed at professional, sports and amateur divers. The design language of the latest model collection appears a little more reserved and a little more elegant. The technology of the remarkable watches is bold and flawless.
The most sensational innovation of the current IWC Aquatimer is the IWC SafeDive system. For safety reasons, the outer-inner rotating ring can only be turned anti-clockwise. If the wearer accidentally adjusts the bezel, the worst case scenario is that he will ascend too early. But he will never end his dive too late.
