Topmodellen blandt IWC's dykkerure har heddet Aquatimer Deep One, Deep Two og nu kan den nye Deep Three (Ref. IW355701) leveres. Til den nette sum af 16.800 Euro. Jeg tillader mig at bruge teksten fra den engelske pressemeddelelse:
The Aquatimer Deep Three is already the third generation of the IWC diver’s watches to feature a mechanical depth gauge. The continuous development of the depth gauge and rotating bezel system testifies to the Schaffhausen watch manufacturer’s resolve to further consolidate its technological advantage in complex mechanical solutions. Following on from the GST Deep One (Ref. 3527) in 1999 and the Aquatimer Deep Two (Ref. 3547) in 2009, IWC Schaffhausen is now presenting its third generation of diver’s watches with a mechanical depth gauge. The Aquatimer Deep Three (Ref. IW355701) is a perfect example of watchmaking evolution from Schaffhausen.
The case design of the Aquatimer Deep Three combines the advantages of the internal rotating bezel – such as protection of the scale against dirt and scratches – with the convenience of the external rotating bezel. It has been made possible by an IWC invention: the sophisticated sliding clutch system transmits the rotations of the bezel to the interior of the case and the internal rotating bezel. Here, too – for safety reasons and thanks to the IWC SafeDive system – the internal rotating bezel, which engages in precise one-minute intervals, can only be moved anticlockwise.
The Aquatimer Deep Three is pressure-resistant to 10 bar. The pressure-metering system is housed in a large second crown on the left-hand side of the case, protected by a bow. Water pressure acts directly on a membrane in the crown and pushes a pin towards the interior of the case. This movement operates the lever system that integrates the two indicators. During a dive, the blue depth indicator moves with increasing or decreasing depth across the white scale and always shows current depth. With the help of the seconds hand and the depth gauge, it is possible to keep ascent speed to a maximum of 10 metres per minute. The red indicator remains at the deepest point attained during the dive, to a maximum of 50 metres. This figure is vital for calculating any necessary decompression stops and, together with the other data, gives the experienced diver all the information he needs to complete the dive safely.
Thanks to its titanium case, the Aquatimer Deep Three is lighter than its predecessor in stainless steel. Optically, the watch appears less bulky because of the slimmer rotating bezel with its rounded recessed grips. This is despite the watch’s diameter, which at 46 millimetres remains unchanged, and the addition of two new functional elements on the right-hand side. The reset button for the maximum depth indicator has moved from “8 o’clock” to “2 o’clock”. The push-button made of ceramic is used to reset the maximum depth display to zero. The titanium cover at “4 o’clock” conceals the sliding clutch mechanism for the new rotating bezel system. Despite the many displays, the black dial remains simple and uncluttered. The Super-LumiNova* coating guarantees excellent legibility no matter how poor the visibility. The reliable 30120-calibre automatic movement with date display comes with a useful 42-hour power reserve. The back of the watch features an intricate relief engraving of a diver’s helmet, symbolizing the Deep Three’s suitability as a professional diving instrument. The new, patented IWC bracelet quick-change system is not only very practical – the change from rubber strap to stainless-steel bracelet is quick and easy – but also very safe.

Deep Two og det nye Deep Three er ikke lige min stil og størrelse
