The story behind this IWC Aquatimer Chronograph
Since 2006, IWC has been supporting the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation through the release of limited editions. Traditionally, each case back features a drawing by a child who has won an international competition. This pre-owned Aquatimer Chronograph, reference IW379507, follows in this tradition. The back of the watch features a commemorative engraving from this programme. The navy blue dial is the signature colour of these specific models.
Case, movement and strap of this Aquatimer
The 45 mm diameter case is crafted from stainless steel and entirely covered in matt black vulcanised rubber. This technical treatment absorbs light and provides protection against shocks. The outer bezel operates the internal rotating flange via the SafeDive clutch system located on the left side of the case, ensuring safety during dives. This timepiece is powered by the self-winding Calibre 89365, which features a flyback chronograph and offers a power reserve of 68 hours. The textured blue rubber strap features the IWC quick-change system.
Why choose this IWC watch
Produced in a limited edition of 1,000 numbered pieces worldwide, this model is no longer in production at the manufacture. Purchasing it second-hand provides access to a robust diving watch, featuring a discreet technical finish and a sophisticated movement. The contrast between the matt black case and the light-coloured hour markers on the blue dial ensures immediate legibility and a refined, sporty aesthetic.
Contents and condition
This chronograph comes with its original box. The set is incomplete as the warranty card is missing and the instruction manual provided corresponds to a model from the Pilote range.
