IW379506) has an\u00a0engraving on the case back, depicting a group of hammerhead sharks swimming. The grey dial was inspired by the colour of many sharks.<\/p>\n<p>Enclosed in a stainless-steel case, the timepiece is driven by an IWC-manufactured 89365 calibre. The chronograph is water-resistant to 30 bar and boasts a flyback function, a self-winding system and a\u00a0power reserve of 68 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Dive times can be set using the mechanical external\/internal rotating bezel. This IWC development combines the legibility of an internal rotating bezel with the ease of use of an external bezel.<\/p>\n<p>The IWC SafeDive system ensures that the internal bezel can only be adjusted in an anticlockwise\u00a0 direction. Luminescent coatings on the dial, hands and the internal rotating bezel aim to provide optimum legibility underwater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProtecting endangered species is one of the key themes in IWC\u2019s commitment to environmental issues. That is why, since 2009, we have also been working intensively with the Charles Darwin Foundation as it campaigns for various causes such as the preservation of the shark populations in the Galapagos Marine Reserve,\u201d explained Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen.<\/p>\n<p>The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition \u201cSharks\u201d is exclusively bundled with a copy of Michael Muller\u2019s book of the same name. The limited Collector\u2019s Edition Taschen book is signed by the photographer and presented in a bite-proof metal shark cage.<\/p>\n<p>Famed for his portraits of Hollywood stars, the American photographer travelled the globe to document shark species with an unprecedented degree of technical perfection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IWC Schaffhausen has created\u00a0a special edition of the Aquatimer diver\u2019s watch with production limited to 500 watches and a special hammerhead shark engraving on the case back.
