Doing things differently. As we already saw in the case of the IWC Spitfire UTC, does things a bit differently. Not necessarily in a unique manner, but lets just say they often take the road less traveled. The Aquatimer Automatic 2000 divers watch design is pretty much the same. Instead of having a rotating outer bezel, it has a rotating ring behind the the sapphire glass cover. The bezel can be rotated by twisting the crown at the 4 o'clock position. This crown does not screw in, and thus can be used even under water. This fact is even more impressive when you look at this watches water resistance rating. The Aquatimer Automatic 2000 is rated as water resistant to 2000 meters.
Despite its fairly large 42mm case, it is a light watch thanks to its titanium casing. The case can be mated to your choice of either a titanium bracelet or rubber strap.
Movement. The Aquatimer Automatic 2000 is a mechanical self-winding watch which uses the IWC Calibre 30110 movement, which is a modified ETA 2892 movement. This movement produces 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a 42 hour power reserve. The movement has a date display is at the 3 o'clock position.
About IWC. IWC or the the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" was founded by an American engineer from Boston, Florentine Ariosto Jones, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in the year 1868. IWC Schaffhausen is notable for being the only major Swiss watch factory located in eastern Switzerland, as the majority of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers are located in western Switzerland.
