IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Aquatimer Chronograph, IW379503, 2014, 44 mm, Black

The IWC Aquatimer Charles Darwin 300M Chronograph IW379503 is a unique timepiece that pays tribute to the famous naturalist, Charles Darwin, and his journey aboard the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands. The 44mm case is crafted from bronze and stainless steel, a nod to the ship's equipment, with bronze chosen for its historical significance and remarkable corrosion resistance. Over time, the bronze will evolve in appearance, which IWC sees as an homage to Darwin's theory of evolution, giving the watch a distinct character as it ages.|||Equipped with a chronograph function, date display, and an inner rotating bezel, the watch is highly functional, designed for serious exploration and diving with a 300m water resistance. The engraved back cover features a portrait of Darwin, adding a personal touch to the model. Recently overhauled and finished at our shop, the watch does show signs of use, including scratches and discoloration of the bronze, which further enhances its unique, evolving aesthetic. The watch comes with a genuine strap and an inner box, completing its premium offering.
