Celebrate the spirit of oceanic exploration with the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Jacques-Yves Cousteau” (Ref. IW376706). Released to mark the centenary of the legendary researcher and filmmaker, this timepiece is the fifth in IWC’s series of tributes to the Cousteau Society, blending high-performance horology with a commitment to marine conservation.
Masterful Aesthetics & Legibility
The IW376706 stands out with its sophisticated slate-grey sunburst dial, contrasted beautifully by deep navy-blue chronograph counters. Designed for maximum visibility, the oversized hands and indices are coated in heavy Super-LumiNova®, ensuring the time is readable even at the 120-meter (12 bar) depth limit. The day and date apertures at 3 o’clock add daily practicality to this professional instrument.
Professional Diving Engineering
Built for the rigors of the sea, the 44mm brushed stainless steel case houses the IWC Calibre 79320—a self-winding mechanical movement with a 44-hour power reserve. Unlike traditional dive watches, this model features an external rotating bezel with a sapphire glass inlay, protecting the luminescent markers from scratches and fading while providing a tactile, high-grip surface for gloved use.
A Collector’s Heritage
The caseback serves as a beautiful tribute, featuring a relief engraving of Jacques-Yves Cousteau encircled by the text “A Tribute to J.Y. Cousteau 1910–2010”. Whether you are a diver, a history buff, or a luxury watch collector, the Aquatimer IW376706 represents a perfect synergy of Swiss precision and the adventurous soul of the world’s most famous oceanographer.
