The Aquatimer Chronograph “Sharks” (Ref. IW379506) features a distinctive grey dial inspired by the colour of many sharks. Enclosed in a stainless-steel case, the timepiece is driven by an IWC-manufactured 89365 calibre, and is water-resistant to 30 bars.
Boasting a flyback function, a self-winding system and a power reserve of 68 hours, the chronograph can be used to set dive times using a mechanical external/internal rotating bezel, while the luminescent coatings on its dial, hands and the internal rotating bezel provide optimum legibility underwater.
