AQUATIMER DEEP THREE
— 5 —
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to be
absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appre-
ciation 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 imagination. 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 fas-
cination with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new
inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed 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 perhaps
cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
AQUATIMER DEEP THREE
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, as well as the
date, current dive depth and maximum depth achieved during your dive. The water
pressure (and thus dive depth) is measured by a pressure converter and transmitted
to the indicators, which show current dive depth and maximum dive depth down
to 50 metres. The depth gauge can be reset to zero using the adjustment crown to
correct fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. The dive time is read off on the internal
rotating bezel, which for safety reasons can only be turned anticlockwise. Your watch
is water-resistant 10 bar and protected by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on
Mohs’ scale. The mechanical movement with automatic winding has a power reserve
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 instructions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN
X — Normal position (screwed in)
0 — Winding position
1 — Date setting
2 — Time setting
NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown in to 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 winding 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 move-
ment 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 accurate-
ly to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now
move the minute 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.

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).
READING THE TIME IN THE DARK
The dial, the hour and minute hands, the marking on the internal rotating bezel, as
well as the dive depth scale of your watch have luminescent elements that allow you
to read the time effortlessly even in total darkness. The two luminescent elements at
12 o’clock serve as a reference point.
MARKING THE START OF A DIVE
The triangle on the internal rotating bezel can be aligned with the minute hand by turning
the external rotating bezel. The desired point in time (for example the time of entering the
water at the start of the dive) can be set in this way. You can read off the elapsed time
(for example the duration of the dive) on the internal rotating bezel. For safety reasons,
the internal rotating bezel can only be rotated in an anticlockwise direction. The rotating
bezel is indexed audibly and perceptibly in one-minute steps, and it is also legible in the
dark thanks to the luminescent markings.
