IWC Aquatimer
More actions
The IWC Aquatimer is Schaffhausen's dive line, introduced in 1967 with the reference 812 AD and rated to 20 atmospheres at a time when that was an unusual claim. Its signature across generations is an *internal* rotating bezel, protected under the crystal from knocks and from being turned by accident, and driven by a second crown rather than by the outer case ring. The chronograph versions push that further with a bi-function crown that both indexes the diving bezel and returns the chronograph to zero, a piece of case engineering IWC has treated as a house speciality.

The line changed shape more than once: the 2004 generation moved to a broader case with a rubber-mounted bracelet, and the 2014 relaunch introduced the SafeDive system, an external ring geared through the crystal to an internal bezel that only ever turns one way. Those are materially different watches sharing a name, which is why the appearances cataloged here sit at the line rather than at a reference.
