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 en-
thusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the inter lay between
recision and imagination. Between time and timeless-
ness. 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 recision but which also,
with every assing second, exert a fascination with the
great achievements of master craftsmanshi : a fascination
with new inventions of a technical, material or formal na-
ture, even if they are concealed in minute details that are
erha s not even visible. You are now the owner of a beau-
tiful new exam le of this IWC tradition. We would like to
congratulate you on your choice and send you our best
wishes for the time you will s end with your watch, which
erha s cannot be described with any greater accuracy
than it is here.
IWC Management

The technical refinements of the
Aquatimer Chronograph
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes
and seconds, together with the date and the day. You can
use the integrated chronograph to measure any period of
time up to 12 hours in seconds, minutes and hours. Stop
times can be added together. The dive time is read off on
the external rotating bezel, which for safety reasons can
only be turned anticlockwise. The mechanical movement
with automatic winding has 25 jewels (synthetic rubies)
and a power reserve of approximately 44 hours when
fully wound. Your Aquatimer Chronograph is shockproof
and protected by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on
ohs’ scale. Your watch is water-resistant 12 bar. To en-
sure that this extraordinary watch continues 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 the inadvertent adjust-
ment 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 auto-
matically 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. However,
it is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through
approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure max-
imum accuracy.
Date and day 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. Re-
lease the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You
can now set the date by turning the crown to the right,
and the day by turning it to the left (rapid 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 move-
ment. To set the time accurately 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 pos-
itions 0, 1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in
again for normal use (position X).
