To mark the 100th birthday of Jacques-Yves Cousteau celebrated on the June 11 2010, IWC Schaffhausen, having long supported the Cousteau Society, has created a fifth special edition dedicated to the legendary ocean explorer - the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau watch.The case of the new IWC watch, 44 mm in diameter, is sculptured from stainless steel. It boasts 120-meter water-resistance. You will notice Cousteau’s signature on the slate-color dial completed with high-contrast white indices and blue counters.
The case construction of the IWC Jacques-Yves Cousteau watch features a chunky external rotating bezel. You can turn the bezel only anticlockwise to provide the necessary safety, even with gloves on. The 4-mm-wide sapphire glass ring has been provided with six layers of luminescent Super-LumiNova coating for utmost legibility and luminosity under any light conditions, so the watch is a reliable diver’s watch even when night-diving.
The new IWC watch is equipped with an IWC automatic chronograph movement. The 25-jewel movement, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a 42-hour power-reserve.
The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques- Yves Cousteau watch is presented on a black rubber strap.
