IWC IW354806 Aquatimer Cousteau Diver SS Blue Dial

The IWC IW354806 Aquatimer Cousteau Diver stands as a distinguished tribute to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, merging the brand's storied Aquatimer heritage with commemorative diving excellence. Released around 2004, this reference marks IWC’s dedication to technical innovation with a robust 42mm stainless steel case and a vivid blue dial inspired by the ocean’s depths. At its heart beats the IWC Calibre 30110 automatic movement, prized for its reliability, and based on the renowned ETA 2892-A2 architecture. The watch boasts a substantial 1000-meter water resistance, making it a true tool for professional divers and collectors alike. Its unique blue dial and commemorative connection to Cousteau make this edition highly sought-after, standing apart from standard Aquatimer references. The combination of a uni-directional bezel and the signature Aquatimer design language ensures both safety and clarity underwater. Limited production years and the tie-in to an icon of underwater exploration lend the model substantial collector gravitas. For those seeking both horological value and sea-faring spirit, the IW354806 encapsulates IWC’s commitment to adventure, performance, and enduring style. Like New with IWC box and papers dated 2005.
