Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to be ab-
solutely 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 between recision
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 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 fascination with
the great achievements of master craftsmanshi : a fascination with new in-
ventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed
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 wishes for the time you will s end
with your watch, which erha s cannot be described with any greater accur -
acy than it is here.
IWC Management

The technical refinements of the Aquatimer Deep Two
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 external rotating bezel, which for
safety reasons can only be turned anticlockwise. The mechanical movement
with automatic winding has 21 jewels (synthetic rubies) and a power reserve
of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Your Aquatimer Deep Two is
shockproof and protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire glass of hardness
grade 9 on ohs’ scale. Your watch is water-resistant 12 bar. The watch is
supplied with a tear-proof nylon strap with a hook-and-loop fastener for use
with a diving suit. This can be adjusted easily, even during dives. To ensure
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 pos-
ition (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 in 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.
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
(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 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 minute hand a few minute strokes beyond
the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently back-
wards 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 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 or in poor light
conditions in the water. The two luminescent elements at 12 o’clock serve
as a reference point.
Marking the start of a dive
The triangle on the rotating bezel can be aligned with the minute hand by
turning the rotating bezel anticlockwise. The desired point in time (for ex -
ample 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 rotating bezel. For safety reasons, the 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.
Cleaning the watch after diving
After diving – and especially after diving in seawater – you should rinse your
watch under running mains water. This will prevent salt incrustation on the
case, bracelet and clasp.
