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.
