AQUATIMER AUTOMATIC

Welcome to the small circle of individuals

who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of

a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more

than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an

ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-

ation. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and

infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject, and

taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since

1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches

that must not only run with absolute precision but which also, with

every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achieve-

ments of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions

of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are con-

cealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are

now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition.

We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our

best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which per-

haps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS

OF THE AQUATIMER AUTOMATIC

Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and sec-

onds, together with the date. The dive time is read off on the in-

ternal rotating bezel, which for safety reasons can only be turned

anticlockwise. Your watch is water-resistant 30 bar and protected

by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale. The

mechanical movement with automatic winding has a power re-

serve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. To ensure that

this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the

future, it is essential to observe a few important operating instruc-

tions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN

X — Normal position (screwed in)

1 — Date setting

2 — Time setting

NORMAL POSITION

This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown into its

normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the

time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water from

seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it by turning

it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0, the wind-

ing position. By depressing the crown into position X and turning

it to the right at the same time, it is screwed down firmly again

and secured.

Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0,

1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for normal

use (position X). The crown must not be moved or used for any

purpose whatsoever while under water.

WINDING POSITION

With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the

automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are

enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the

watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions

as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be

in position X when you are wearing your watch.

DATE SETTING

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date

manually to the first day of the following month. Release the

screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now set the

date by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should

not use the rapid-advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.

because the movement automatically advances the date during

this period.

TIME SETTING

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.

To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the

movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the min-

ute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then

position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until

it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that

the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart

the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to

position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date

change, which always takes place at 12 midnight. If this change

has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands

forwards by 12 hours.
