Welcome to the small circle of individuals who,
if we are to be absolutely recise, demand slightly more of
a watch than absolute recision. A reciation of a watch
is more than mere a reciation of the correct time. It is
enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the inter lay be-
tween recision and imagination. Between time and time-
lessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws
to which the entire world is subject, and taste, which can-
not be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we
have been devot ing rather more of our time to watches
that must not only run with absolute recision but which
also, with every assing second, exert a fas cination with
the great achievements of master craftsmanshi : a fas-
cination with new inventions of a technical, material or
formal nature, even if they are con cealed in minute details
that are erha s not even visible. You are now the owner
of a beautiful new exam le of this IWC tradition. We
would like to congratulate you on your choice and send
you our best wi shes for the time you will s end with your
watch, which erha s cannot be described with any
greater accuracy than it is here.

T e tec nical refinements
of t e Aquatimer Automatic 2000
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes
and seconds, together with the date. Dive time is read
off on the external rotating bezel, which for safety rea-
sons can only be turned anticlockwise. The mechanical
movement with automatic winding has 21 jewels (syn-
thetic rubies) and a power reserve of approximately
42 hours when fully wound. Your watch is shockproof
and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire glass
of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale. The Aquatimer
Automatic 2000 is water-resistant 200 bar. To ensure
that this extraordinary watch con tinues to perform
faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe a few
important operating instructions.

Normal position
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown
in to its normal position (X) prevents inadvertent adjust-
ment of the time or date and acts as a double seal against
ingress of water into the case. To release the crown, un-
screw it by turning it to the left, where it automatically
assumes position 0, the winding position. By depressing
the crown in position X and turning it to the right at the
same time, it is screwed down firmly again and secured.

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. How-
ever, it is better to wind the movement fully by turning
the crown through about 30 revolutions. This will ensure
maximum accuracy and a power reserve of about
42 hours, even if you are not 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.
Pull the crown out to position 1. You can now set the date
by turning the crown to the left (rapid advance).

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
reaches 60. You can now set the time by turning the
crown and positioning the minute hand exactly above
the minute stroke. 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 forward
by 12 hours.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in
positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown must always be screwed
in again for normal use (position X).
Reading t e time in t e dark
The dial, the hour and minute hands as well as the
marking on the rotating bezel 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.
