IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Day-Date – Box & Card

DESCRIPTION

IWC launched the first Aquatimer in 1967, created during an era when recreational and professional diving were rapidly expanding, and the demand for robust, water-resistant timepieces was at its peak. IWC’s early dive watches came late compared to other brands (Rolex, Blancpain or Zodiac) but reflected the lessons of the tool-watch age: overbuilt cases, legible dials, and bezels engineered to track bottom time with absolute clarity. But from the start, the company also looked for ways to push beyond the standard formula, experimenting with case designs, technology, and safety systems that would distinguish their divers from those of other manufacturers.

Over the decades, IWC’s dive watch lineage has been defined not by a single style but by a series of technical milestones. IWC’s engineering approach has been consistent: start with the real-world needs of the diver, whether military, commercial, or recreational, then build a watch that meets those needs. Aesthetic considerations followed the functional, resulting in watches whose visual identity is inseparable from their technical purpose.

This model was released in 2009, the Aquatimer Chronograph underwent a radical redesign with the debut of the Ref. IW3767, replacing the internal bezel with a newly engineered external system. The 43.5 mm stainless steel case, 15.2 mm thick, preserved the 120m water resistance.

The bezel was topped with a 4mm sapphire insert, beneath which lay a deeply lumed minute scale applied in six layers of Super-LumiNova. The first quarter-hour was marked in high-contrast yellow for decompression stop timing, chosen for its visibility in low-light underwater environments. The system’s tactile ratcheting allowed precise minute indexing even with gloves.

The dial was refined with colour-matched chronograph subdials, improving visual balance. The Calibre 79320 stayed, retaining its IWC-tuned 7750 base, with the same regulation and custom finishing as the 3719. Crown tubes and pusher assemblies are carried over the torque-optimised spring system for reliable actuation under water pressure.

The watch comes with its original warranty card, inner (it is not so good condition) / outer box and of course our dealer invoice.
