The Aquatimer Chronograph is IWC's professional diver with chronograph capability — 300m water resistance, a distinctive inner-rotating SafeDive bezel, and an automatic chronograph movement in a 42mm stainless steel case. It's a serious piece of kit that wears sportier than most IWC references. The SafeDive bezel is one of IWC's smartest design decisions: the dive timing ring rotates inside the crystal, set from the crown, not the bezel — so it can't be accidentally bumped off-count in rough conditions. Properly ISO 6425 compliant, not just diver-aesthetic. Black dial is sharp and legible — the layout puts the chronograph registers where they belong and keeps the elapsed time readable at a glance. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Tachymeter scale on the bezel. Stainless steel bracelet with diver's extension. This is a 2012 example — the pre-in-house generation, running a robust automatic chronograph movement with a strong track record for reliability. At 14 years old, a service is worth factoring into your purchase; it runs well. Complete with original box and papers. Retail when new: approximately $5,900.
