If a diver needs both a dive watch and a regular watch for sea and land, there are so many dive watches being sold both online and offline markets which are often hard for people to decide on. On the market are some really high-tech looking watches that is excellent for diving, but not ideal for walking around with on land. Sporting an elegant look with features that every diver needs during long underwater sessions, the IWC Aquatimer dive watch is also able to solve the problem out of water.
This review will explain why the IWC Aquatimer 2000 is the watch of choice for those serious divers. Its features are simple with a lot of emphasis on the design and construction. That is the reason the IWC Aquatimer 2000 is a lot different than the other dive watches out there.
Its Style
If you are looking for a nice non-digital watch for fashionable purposes then the IWC Aquatimer dive watch, which its style is the primary selling point, is definitely the one to get. Other watches focus solely on the crown and bezel, however, with this watch the case alone defines quality with its stainless steel makeup and brushed finish. The thick sapphire crystal, unlike the anti-reflective coating, serves as the front of the watch. The back has a nice engraved Alcyone-logo just to show the true value of this watch.
Because the dial has a dark blue color with nice sunburst highlights complemented with an orange minute hand made of luminous material that shines yellow underwater, the IWC Aquatimer turns out to be one of the easiest watches to read even when under dark seas. As for the readability, divers will absolutely have no trouble in reading the numbers on this watch.
Its Features
For underwater safety, the features of the IWC 2000 are just about right with all the necessary components that divers need. Solely powered by mechanical movement and is self-winding, the IWC Aquatimer obviously has no digital elements. To avoid other distractions when checking the time and bezel, the date is also displayed serving as the only face feature.
What makes this dive watch the real choice for divers is the fact that the IWC 2000 can withstand 200 bars of pressure which is equivalent to 2000 meters underwater. The cases quality materials serve as the strong protection point combined with the crown being triple sealed with one of them being conus-shaped so that the crown can push itself in when water pressure increases.
Its Overall Value
If you are a diver that wants to keep the same watch when going to formal events, the IWC Aquatimer is definitely a top choice for any serious diver that wants to go deep. Even though it is one of the best simply designed and excellent choices of materials to have graced the marketplace, not everyone may appreciate the external rotating bezel. This watch successfully combines true craftsmanship and safety you can trust.
