Ferdinand A. Porsche designed the Aquatimer Ocean 2000 for IWC Schaffhausen back in 1982. With its avant-garde design, this extremely pressure-resistant diver’s watch was years ahead of its time. In celebration of the 35th birthday of this style icon, IWC is now releasing a 350-piece limited edition with a thickness of just 14.5 millimetres.
The IWC Aquatimer Automatic 2000 Edition “35 Years Ocean 2000” (Ref. IW329101) replica watches are the thinnest deep-sea diver’s watches in IWC’s collection. Despite the minimal case height, it functions reliably on dives of up to 2,000 metres (200 bars) – thanks to the new, improved shape of the titanium case.
The black dial, the white hands and indices coated with luminescent paint and the red tip of the seconds hand are inspired by the Ocean 2000 as well as the recessed grips on the rotating bezel and the lamellar-style rubber strap. A diver’s helmet for deep-sea divers is engraved on the back of the watch.
When diving with compressed air, divers must always keep an eye on the time to make sure they don’t put themselves in danger by returning to the surface too quickly. On the IWC Aquatimer replica watches with steel cases, the dive time can be set using the rotating bezel for extra safety. The innovative SafeDive system ensures that the bezel can only be adjusted by turning it anticlockwise. So even if the bezel is accidentally moved, zero hour – the time at which the diver can return to the surface without the need for decompression stops – is never exceeded.
The automatic movement Calibre 30120 fake watches powers the hour-minute-second and date functions of the watch, and offers a 42-hour power reserve.
The black rubber straps IWC copy watches on this Aquatimer model can easily be replaced with another strap thanks to the quick-change system.
