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.

8 | 9
To clean the adjustment crown (10)*, proceed as follows:
Press the slide (12) of the hoop
guard (11) with your finger to release the
locking mechanism.
Fold back the hoop guard (11) and wash
the adjustment crown (10) under running
mains water. Do not use any chemical or
mechanical aids.
After cleaning, close the hoop guard (11)
and press it towards the case until you
hear and feel the slide (12) click into
place.
* The bracketed numbers on pages 9 to 11 refer to the figure on page 5.

To avoid damage to the depth gauge, the adjustment crown should
never e touched when unprotected. Manipulation of the adjustment
crown when the hoop guard is open can lead to inaccuracies in the
values shown y the depth gauge.
Depth gauge of the Aquatimer Deep Two
If you are planning to use the watch to track your dive time and depth,
you should e a certified open water diver and have the water-
resist ance and depth gauge checked regularly y an IWC service centre.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should have it
checked by an IWC service centre at least once a year.
Under no circumstances should you use the watch and its entirely mechan -
ical depth gauge to replace a conventional, and in some cases mandatory,
dive computer or other dive log equipment. The watch and its entirely
mechanical depth gauge are intended solely for use as an auxiliary instru-
ment for measuring dive time and depth.
We recommend that you compare the results shown by the watch with the
information provided by your dive computer to get a feel for the watch’ s
accuracy.
If you are forced to rely on your watch and its entirely mechanical depth
gauge in an emergency (malfunction of your dive computer or other scuba
equipment), you must take into account the inaccuracies that may arise as a
result of mechanical and physical factors.
To avoid damage, the depth gauge is mechanically disengaged below
depths of approximately 50 metres. Depths below this limit are no longer
indicated (14).

Important note efore diving
Please read the “Depth gauge of the Aquatimer Deep Two” section on page
10. The watch must always be checked visually before a dive. If there is any
obvious damage, condensation on the glass, water in the case, or other
signs of malfunction, the watch must not be used to keep track of dive time
or depth and should be taken to an IWC service centre for checking.
Function of the depth gauge
When diving, the blue depth indicator (7) shows the current depth, which can
be read off on the dive depth scale (6). The red maximum depth indicator (8)
moves in sync with the depth indicator during the descent. During ascent,
the maximum depth indicator continues to show the maximum depth
achieved while the depth indicator moves back towards zero as depth
decreases.
The maximum depth indicator can be reset by pushing the reset button (13).
To avoid damage, the depth gauge is mechanically disengaged elow
depths of approximately 50 metres. Depths eyond this limit are no
longer indicated (14).
Adjusting the depth gauge
The depth gauge can be set to zero to correct fluctuations in atmospheric
pressure by turning the adjustment crown (10). This correction should be
made before every dive. To adjust the watch as precisely as possible, pro-
ceed as follows:

First set the depth gauge to a value
below zero (for example –2 metres).
Then reset the maximum depth indicator
(press the reset button (13)).
By turning the adjustment crown (10),
the depth gauge can now be set to zero.

Caution
Scuba products are subject to conditions of extreme wear and corrosion.
Regular inspection and maintenance are required to ensure continued per-
formance. For regular scuba use, IWC recommends that you have your
watch inspected at least once a year by your authorized IWC Official Agent.
Scuba diving is an inherently dangerous sport and involves serious risks of
injury or death. Scuba diving should only be performed by individuals in
good health and with the appropriate skills and training. You must follow all
safety precautions and must be certified for diving. Even when following safe
procedures, decompression sickness or other injuries may still occur.
You must follow all operating instructions for use of the diver’s watch. You
are responsible for your safety. Do not exceed recommended or stated
forces, depths, or other factors regarding safe use of the watch. Read and
follow all warning labels, manuals, instructions, safety training or experience
requirements for all dives. Check the watch before each use. Be extremely
careful and cautious. Review emergency procedures.
Please also consult IWC’s International Warranty (for the USA/Canada: IWC
Limited Warranty). IWC does not assume or accept liability for damages un-
related to its product and no responsibility is assumed for any special,
indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damage or losses for diving
activities (even if IWC has been advised of the possibility of such damages).
You accept the risks inherent in diving.
Adjusting the metal racelet
If you have chosen a metal bracelet, you can easily adjust it to the size of your
wrist. You can make this adjustment yourself by removing or adding individ-
ual bracelet links.

Taking the racelet apart and removing individual links
Remove the bracelet from the case as described and
open the clasp by pressing the button on the side. Lay
the bracelet with its top surface on a firm base. Using the
special tools provided, you can now push down the se-
curing pin (1) at the desired point of separation and, at
the same time, displace the pivot pin laterally by approximately 3 milli -
metres (2) with the second special tool.
Now pull the protruding pivot pin from the bracelet (3).
The metal bracelet is now separated, and you can adjust
the length of the bracelet by removing or adding individ-
ual links.
Determining racelet length
Place the watch with the bracelet open around your wrist
and estimate the number of surplus bracelet links that
you can now remove from the bracelet (as described
above). If you need to shorten the bracelet by several
links, you should remove the same number of links from
each half of the bracelet, if possible, to ensure that the clasp can be worn
more or less at the centre of the wrist. We have included a short link in the
clasp cover to enable you to adjust the bracelet as accurately as possible to
the size of your wrist. You can shorten your bracelet by an intermediate
amount by omitting this bracelet link, and finer adjustment to the length of
the bracelet can be made in this way.
Keep the surplus links and the separating tools in a safe place for use in any
adjustment at another time.

Attaching the racelet
Attach the component parts of the bracelet link to the
connection point and push the pivot pin into the bracelet
from the side (1).
Using the special tool provided, now press the securing
pin downwards (2) and, at the same time, slide the pivot
pin back into the bracelet until it lies flush (3). The secur-
ing pin must be brought up flush with the upper edge of
the securing link. Please be sure to check that the pivot
pin is correctly seated.
Changing etween different types of racelet
Your IWC watch has a bracelet quick-change system* that enables you to
change the bracelet quickly and simply, without the use of tools.
To remove the bracelet, use your thumb to push down
the retaining lever (1) on the underside of the horns.
While holding the lever down, slide the connecting link
out vertically from the underside of the case (2).

* The Aquatimer bracelet quick-change system has been developed by IWC under a patent licence
from Cartier.

To attach the bracelet, push down the two sides of the
horns vertically towards the lower side of the case and
into the recesses (3) until you hear and feel the retaining
lever engage.
When attaching the bracelet, you must ensure that the horns are securely en-
gaged to prevent the bracelet coming off your wrist unintentionally.

Water-resistance
The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not in metres.
etres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch industry to indicate
water-resistance, cannot be equated with dive depth because of the test
procedures that are frequently used. Water-resistance shown in metres pro-
vides no indication as to actual use of the watch in the presence of moisture
and wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use in connection
with the water-resistance of your watch can be found on the Internet at
www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your authorized IWC Official Agent will also
be pleased to provide you with information.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should
have it checked y an IWC service centre at least once a year. Your watch
should also be tested after exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the
tests are not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by un -
au thorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must carry out a
water-resistance test whenever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.

Servicing your Aquatimer Deep Two
Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality ma-
terials, a number of components are subject to natural wear and tear. It is
particularly important to ensure that the points at which wear occurs are al-
ways well lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly
removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced
approximately every five years. Please contact an authorized IWC Official
Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service Department
in Schaffhausen.
