IWC Aquatimer Automatic IW329004 Luxury Watch Review

Watchuwant is now WatchBox! Subscribe for the best luxury watch content. The IWC Aquatimer Automatic Ref. 3290-04 is proof positive that IWC still has soul. With a 42mm stainless steel case, just-right proportions, and a clear-as-day silver metallic dial, this IWC Aquatimer represents Schaffhausen at its best. Clever features abound on this Aquatimer. The IWC Safe Dive internal rotating dive bezel pivots on a differential system that ensures it can never be reversed to accidentally extend a dive. A special agreement with fellow Richemont Group denizen Cartier has granted IWC access to the superb tool-free quick release lugs from the Cartier Roadster. This feature enables an owner to swap the Aquatimer from bracelets to straps in mere seconds without any help from a jeweler. Inside the rugged steel case, and IWC caliber 30120 based on the tried-and-true ETA 2892-A2 keeps the beat at 28,800 VpH. Its credentials as a dive watch power plant have been proven in countless "James Bond" Omega Seamasters and Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Divers. With hacking (stop) seconds, a quick-set date, and a 42 hour power reserve, this automatic movement is the idea set-it-and-forget-it motor for a no-nonsense tool watch. And the IWC Aquatimer Automatic is a true tool watch. It's a throwback to the old IWC. This 42mm stainless steel diver is a worthy modern heir to the original 1967 IWC Ref. 812 Aquatimer.
