Hey folks

Up for grabs, is a watch that doesn’t come up too often on the secondary market.

Unbeknownst to most, and a largely overlooked lineup from IWC, the Aquatimer presents an accessible and robust option to the dive watch category.

Throw in a chronograph complication, WITH a fly back function and you got the best of both aviation and submersion in one wholesome and badass package.

The yellow pops of colour on the chrono and sub seconds hand are clearly legible at any angle.

The case is rubber coated in a complex vulcanization process adding a grippy non slip texture to the watch.

Measuring at 45mm, and 16.9mm in thickness, it seems large until the relatively short lug to lug of 50mm makes it feel like a 43mm or large 42mm timepiece.

The bezel is just as unique as the rest of the watch, featuring an internal/external rotating bezel with SafeDive system, water-resistance to 30 bar and super luminova applied generously.

Powering the watch is the 89365 cal with 68 hours power reserve with an incredible accuracy of +4s a day.

The watch is in overall excellent condition given the rubberized coating, though there are a few points of wear on the lug to the coating itself, from an inexperienced owner unaware of the quick release strap change system.

The watch comes as a full kit with box, papers, tag, manuals and will provide worry free wear to the next adventurous owner.

Retail on this model is $14,000 plus tax.

I’m asking a stupendous $5900 in the GTA, almost 60% off retail
