The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Replica Edition Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau

A while ago IWC introduced an entirely renewed Aquatimer collection. All IWC Aquatimer watches have been redesigned and now feature the same design cues, and, more importantly, functional upgrades such as the new Dive-Safe system and an externally operational internal dive-time bezel. We tried out the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau” for several weeks and ended up liking it more and more as the test period went on.The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau is a special edition, based on the Aquatimer Chronograph. It features a recognizable blue dial that previous “Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau” watches also had. It commemorates Cousteau’s fantastic voyages and films that made millions aware of the beauty of the underwater world — in a time when most people didn’t have a clue about what was going on under that blue surface.In 1967, IWC introduced the very first Aquatimer, which had a depth rating of 200 meters. The first charming fake watches Aquatimer adopted style elements similar to those used on many dive watches of that era. This is called a compressor-style case, featuring two crowns on one side of the case. One crown to wind the movement and adjust the hands, and the second crown to turn the inner diving bezel.

In 1982 IWC introduced the legendary Ocean 2000, conceived in collaboration with the Porsche design team, which, as its name indicates, had a depth rating of 2,000 meters. At the time, it was the first serial-produced dive helpful fake watches in titanium with a 2,000-meter depth rating. Today it’s a highly sought-after collectors’ piece. During this period, the “normal” Aquatimer was not in IWC’s collection. The Ocean 2000 did not feature an inner diving bezel, as its predecessor did; however, its external one obviously served as an inspiration for the new 2014 Aquatimer collection.The Aquatimer reappeared in IWC’s collection in 1997, as part of the legendary GST collection. GST stands for “Gold, Steel, Titanium,” and functional copy watches was a pioneer in using titanium as material for watch cases and even bracelets. The new IWC Aquatimer models features an external dive bezel, like the Ocean 2000. Two years later, in 1999, IWC introduced another iconic dive watch: the Replica Watches. This was IWC’s first dive watch with a mechanical depth gauge.

In 2004, IWC introduced an entirely new Aquatimer family of watches. All models featured an inner diving bezel, which wasoperated through a dedicated crown. In 2008, IWC Replica celebrated its 140th anniversary and introduced the Vintage Collection, which comprised of six “founding legends,” including a re-issue of the very first Aquatimer. The re-issue featured an inner diving bezel, like its predecessor. An entirely new IWC Aquatimer collection debuted in 2009, again without an inner dive bezel on the watches. (The inner diving bezel and IWC seem to have a bit of a love/hate relationship: while the brand recognizes the importance, both functionally as well as aesthetically, it remains a difficulty in production and service.) Together with the new Aquatimer family, a new version of the iconic Deep One, now called the Deep Two, was introduced. This year, IWC Replica Watches brings back the inner rotating dive bezel, which is now, for the first time, operated by an external rotating bezel. All the new watches in the 2014 Aquatimer family feature this very user-friendly diving bezel. Also, a third version of the dive watch with mechanical depth-gauge is introduced: the Deep Three.

The external bezel is bi-directional, and through a sliding clutch system it locks into place at one-minute intervals and ensures that the internal bezel can only be moved counterclockwise. Another new feature that can be found on the new Aquatimer family of watches, is the Cheap IWC Replica bracelet quick-change system. The well-known system, which uses spring bars, is easily accessible with a spring-bar tool, and has more solidity with the additional metal clamp. This may seem insignificant; however, if you have tried to change a rubber strap before, you know how much fidgeting it takes before you finally can remove the strap. The new bracelet quick-change system might not look like something very special, but in reality it’s a vast improvement.

IWC Portugieser Replica Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy

Last week we covered the Rolex Day-Date; this week we come to a watch my grandfather owns, a piece he wears intermittently between his favorite orange Toy Watch and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.I am talking, of course, about the iconic IWC Portugieser Replica Watches, or as the English-speaking world is used to calling it, the Portuguese. It boasts a design that was ahead of its time upon its launch in 1939, and is without a doubt the most successful series IWC has yet produced. Originally created upon request for two Portuguese businessmen, the IWC Portugieser has solidified itself within the horological community, and continues to grow its image among newcomers and admirers alike.

For the 75th anniversary of this watch, IWC Replica Watches released the Portugieser Ref. 5102, a hand-wound piece that after a full wind can keep ticking for up to 192 hours. Available in either stainless steel or 18k rose gold — at $11,400 and $21,200 respectively — this watch, according to IWC, strives to “lean heavily on the purist design code of the original Portugieser of the 1930s,” and from what I can tell it is a job well done. From the 43-mm case to the vintage, corporate IWC Replica Watches, from the feuille hour and minute hands to a seconds subdial, this watch takes many direct inspirations to help recreate the early Portugieser Ref. 325. Some of the more modern, and noticeable, features of the piece are the clear caseback, a 6 o’clock date display, and the eight-day-power-reserve IWC Caliber 59215.

However popular the IWC Fake Watches is today, it is worth noting that between 1939 and 1981 only about 700 of the Ref. 325 models were actually manufactured. Due to this, this style of watch has the opportunity to become much more “its own” piece than if it were to have had a long initial following; regardless, IWC still chose to honor these earlier models in the Portugieser line. The piece, compared to the Ref. 325, is a very similar watch. In 1939, a 43-mm watch case was an anomaly, but today is in line with modern tastes, and the vintage-inspired, retro Arabic numerals, logo, and hands help it stand out as both tasteful and unique.The next watch we’ll look at this week is the Portugieser Chronograph Ref. 3714, possibly Cheap IWC Replica most popular watch. This watch uses an automatic IWC Caliber 79350 with a 44-hour power reserve, is also housed in either an 18k rose-gold or stainless steel case, and is just under 41 mm in diameter. The dial is available in either black, silver-plated white, or a sun-burst black known as ardoise, and most of the variations include nautical blue accents on either the hands or Arabic hour markers. With two vertical chronograph subdials and handsomely simple pushers, this model starts around $7,900 for the steel version, and $17,500 for the rose gold.

The modern IWC Portugieser has been able to solidify itself as one of the more iconic watches available. While there are many other vintage recreations and modern models that I would pursue before an IWC Fake Watches, I do understand why so many people both appreciate the brand and its watches. The Portugieser Ref. 5102 is a nice watch in its own right, and one that I do not think IWC will have any problems selling. Meanwhile, the Ref. 3714 is a modern watch that has become one of the brand’s more recognizable pieces today. As a modern-day watch brand with both a vintage story and contemporary success, the world of horology is always looking to see where the brand will go next.

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: IWC Mark XVII Replica

In this week’s edition, we come to another important series from IWC: the Pilot’s watch and, by extension, the Mark series. The modern day Pilot’s series traces its origins to the 1930s and ’40s as part of the B-Uhr watches developed for German pilots in the years surrounding World War II. While Replica Watches is sometimes credited with developing the first watch in this style — specifically the B-Uhr-style triangle with two dots at the 12 o’clock mark — it was in collaboration with a number of other German and Swiss watch manufacturers that the style came about. Within the complete modern series of the IWC Pilot’s Watch there exists a multitude of variations, from chronographs to GMTs to perpetual calendars, but the most historically relevant of them all still exist today: the Mark XVII and the Big Pilot.

This week we will be covering the first of these two: the IWC Mark XVII Pilot’s Watch — the most recent descendant to the historic 1940s Mark IX. This watch features a 41-mm, stainless steel case, a black dial with white accents, and classic pilots’-watch sword-shaped hour and minute hands. The watch has the iconic triangle with two dots at the 12 o’clock mark, tick marks at the other quarter hours, and Arabic numerals for the remaining hours. At the 3 o’clock mark also resides an altimeter-inspired, curved date display.If you’re curious, a “central hacking seconds” function, sometimes also known as hack or stop seconds, is a mechanism common in aviation-oriented IWC Replica Watches in which the seconds hand stops if the crown is pulled out. This is rather helpful for pilots, because it allows them to accurately adjust their watches to the second before taking off.

The IWC Mark XVII is a very different IWC Fake Watches than the Mark 11, and in the 67 years since this collection’s release — and subsequent re-release in 1994 as the Mark XII — much has changed. As an evolution of the Mark 11, the Mark XVII is barely recognizable; the 11 was developed as a reliable, utilitarian military watch that could be mass produced and that catered specifically to the specifications of the British Royal Air Force. However, when the XVII is compared to the more recent Mark XII, and to later iterations including the Mark XV and XVI, the style of the contemporary Cheap IWC Replica is more in line with its predecessors.The few similarities to the Mark 11 lie in the bold quarter hours, triangle mark at 12 o’clock, similar font for the hour numerals, and a clear lean toward readability with the black and white-accented dial. However, when the XVII is compared to the XII, the focus on the luxury aspect of the watch becomes more apparent — the Fake Watches improved quality of the finishing, the date wheel at 3 o’clock, and the continued focus on readability remains.

In case you can’t tell, I like the modern Replica Watches Mark series; more specifically, I like the Mark XVII. It pays respect to the history of the series, with subtle nods to both the ’40s and the early ’90s, in ruggedness, functionality, and readability, but also is very much its own watch, bringing a variety of modern touches together. The IWC Mark XVII happens to be one of the smaller watches within the complete Pilot’s Watch series, and it has some of the broadest overall appeal of all of the brand’s watches. IWC Replica Watches has done its job well; now we only need wait for the release of the Mark XVIII.
