2014 Premiere: The New IWC Aquatimers iwc aquatimer novelties galapagos limited edition chronograph dive watches bronze titanium rubber [/url] [url=http://www.watchwow.com/2014/01/95/2014-premiere-the-new-iwc-aquatimers#]2  IWC makes a big splash with the new Aquatimer collection – it is its first comprehensive relaunch since 2009. Among the bounteous crop of new timepieces, the manufacture promises a perpetual calendar with the IWC signature digital date-month display (the first high complication Aquatimer model) and – surprise! – the new Aquatimer Deep Three. Other equally enthralling debutantes include the Aquatimer Automatic 2000 which continues IWC's tradition of extreme depth dive watches, the bronze-cased Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "Expedition Charles Darwin" and the rubber-clad Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "50 Years of Science for Galapagos". Its titanium case and minimalist design are reminiscent of another iconic IWC model: the Ocean 2000 which was created by Ferdinand A. Porsche in 1982, the Aquatimer Automatic 2000 adopts the gently rounded and recessed grips on the external bezel of Porsche's earlier design. Despite the addition of a protective cover for the sliding clutch system connecting the external and internal rotating bezels (IWC SafeDive system) on the left side of the case, this timepiece retains an elegant, balanced aesthetic. The Aquatimer Automatic 2000 features the rugged IWC-manufactured 80110 calibre with Pellaton winding system and, paired with a corrugated rubber strap, fits all wrist sizes with or without wetsuit.   It was on the Galapagos Islands where Charles Darwin formed the basis of his theory on the origin of species. Deeply committed to the works of the Charles Darwin Foundation, IWC continually produces special edition pieces in aid of conservation studies and research. Encased in bronze, the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "Expedition Charles Darwin" is a first for IWC. Bronze had been a typical material in shipbuilding for a time and it is most famously distinguished – at least in the haute horlogerie arena – for its natural tendency to mature over time and gain a unique patina, a word that never fails to cause the ears of watch aficionados to collectively perk up. Powered by the in-house IWC-manufactured Calibre 89365, this timepiece is made not in limited production but as part of IWC's regular collection – indeed, good news just got better.   The popular rubber-clad Aquatimer case introduced in 2009 remains and is seen this year in the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "50 Years of Science for Galapagos". Specifically honouring the 50th anniversary of the Charles Darwin Research Station, this model is also fitted with the new external/internal rotating bezel complete with the IWC SafeDive system, and a new and patented quick-change bracelet makes it an indispensable diver's companion. Divers can switch between a bracelet and a rubber-strap very quickly and easily but more importantly this procedure is safe. The bracelet is attached to a locking bar and engages audibly – the proverbial reassuring 'click'. The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "50 Years of Science for Galapagos" is powered by the Calibre 89365.

Thanks for the good read, Oscar. The Aqua Timer line has always been a strong one for the House from Schaffhausen.

Awesome new Aquatimer models for 2014! I have to admit, I've got a thing for the IWC brand and especially the Aquatimer line (both old and new)! I definitely see an Aquatimer in my future!  Great stuff!
