Latest Vintage Piece
IWC AquaTimer 42mm 3538 titanium $4,200.00 CAD. 501-00429
Yes, we showcase many great estate and vintage watches on our website. Our ever-changing selection keeps our watch collecting clients coming back. We never grow tired of the magnificent watches that we temporarily foster until they find their forever homes. If an estate Rolex, Omega, or Breitling just seems a little too pedestrian and you desire something more exotic, how about an IWC Schaffhausen? Not only is it a fun name to say, but it is also one of the true great manufacturers. They are much more than just a well-marketed brand. From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, they developed an international reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality. Our newest estate watch is this titanium AquaTimer with an internal one-way rotating bezel.
This feature was last seen in the original ICW AquaTimers from the 1960s and we’re happy to see its return. The slick system allows for timing events by setting the bezel with the 4:00 o’clock crown. There is no external ratchet system to get dirty or stiff and gives the watch an interesting slightly dressier look than a hardcore sports model. Make no mistake this is still a serious diver tool, with a water-resistant rating of 2,000 meters!
Despite its larger size the titanium case and rubber strap keep the weight to a very manageable 103 grams.
The large hands and markers with luminous treatment are easy to read in all lighting conditions.
The movement inside the case is an IWC 21 jewel 30110 (base caliber ETA 2892-A2). This automatic winding mechanism has been powering some of the world’s most famous Swiss brands with accuracy and reliability for decades.
Included with the watch is an IWC service box and receipt from a December 2023 factory service that included a full overhaul of the movement, case refinishing and replacement of the hands.
IWC no longer offer the AquaTimer in super tough resilient titanium. The current version in stainless steel with an internal bezel retails at $9,800.00 CAD and can be seen on the IWC website here. This excellent condition watch comes with our complimentary 1-year warranty. It is estate priced at $4,200.00 CAD. Stock #501-00429.
