Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Expedition Charles Darwin
Gold ,
Automatic ,
Rubber Strap
The choice of bronze for the case pays homage to the well-known ship,
HMS Beagle, that carried Charles Darwin on his expedition to the
Galapagos Islands. In those days, bronze – which is non-corrosive – was
used for portholes, fittings and nautical instruments. Depending on the
use to which it is put, bronze develops a patina in the course of time
and darkens in colour, giving the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition
“Expedition Charles Darwin” its own unmistakable character. The bronze
tone recurs in the luminescent material on the hands, indices and
quarter-hour scale on the internal rotating bezel. Equipped with the
IWC-manufactured 89365 movement, rubber-coated push-buttons, the
SafeDive system and water-resistance to 30 bar, this special edition is
ideal for expeditions in this day and age both on land and underwater.
The engraving on the back is an expressive portrait of Darwin, whose
revolutionary theory of evolution changed our way of thinking for ever.
