IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau Watch

In order to mark the 100th birthday of Yacques-Yves Cousteau, the legendary personality who has significantly promoted and influenced research of the world's oceans in the 20th century, Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen, partner and sponsor of the Cousteau Society for many years, is proud to dedicate a fifth special edition to "le Commandant" on this historic anniversary: the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

New IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau, commemorates the illustrious researcher and filmmaker on the occasion of his 100th birthday, which is celebrated on 11 June 2010. The 44mm stainless steel case is pressure-resistant to 12 bar and, with a slatecoloured dial bearing Cousteau's signature, highcontrast white indices and blue totalisers, transforms the watch into an unmistakable statement on the wearer's wrist. The chunky external rotating bezel can be turned(only anticlockwise for safety reasons) even when wearing gloves. The 4mm wide sapphire glass ring has six coatings of luminescent Super-LumiNova, guaranteeing optimum legibility and luminosity in any kind of visibility, even when night-diving. Engraved on the back of the case is a portrait of the ever-popular Frenchman, encircled by the words "Tribute to J.Y. Cousteau 1910-2010". The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau is secured to the wearer's wrist by a black rubber strap.
