Latest Vintage Piece
2011 IWC International Watch Company Aquatimer IW3767 44mm. $5,900.00 CAD. 501-00415
If a Rolex, Breitling or Cartier just seems a little too pedestrian and you desire something a little more exotic, how about an IWC Schaffhausen? Not only is it a fun name to say, it’s one of the true great watch manufactures that is more than just a well marketed brand. From their 1868 inception in Schaffhausen Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, they developed an international reputation for manufacturing watches of the highest quality.
International Watch Company Aquatimer IW3767 is one of the more sporting models offered. It’s a full sized watch with a bezel diameter of almost 46mm. Purchased new in 2011 at an authorized IWC agent in Aruba. The watch looks is in very good to excellent condition, no refinishing of any kind has ever been done on the watch.
Only the most minor evidence of use can be observed. The sharp bevelled and polished lug edges are crisp.
Is is uncommon to see an Aquatimer with a stainless steel bracelet, most of these watches are seen on a rubber strap. Just like the rubber strap version, the original bracelet is equipped with a clever quick release system allowing removal without tools in only a few seconds.
Threaded crown, pressure fit lab-grown sapphire crystal, and threaded crown contribute to a water resistance rating of 12 atmospheres; more than enough for any sports watch. Bright luminous hands and markers are very easy to read in daylight or dark situations. Simple stick markers and thick hands add to the legibility. As an added extra party trick, the one way ratcheting bezel sapphire coated bezel is also treated with two colours of luminous material.
A slightly curved synthetic sapphire crystal with a special double sided antireflective coating is a luxury touch even Rolex don’t do. The sapphire bezel insert won’t fade and is much harder than any metal alternative. Included with purchase is the original box, endorsed warranty card, instructions, polishing cloth (never even unfolded) and link removal tools.
When the quick set 60 minute bezel timer isn’t quite enough, an easy to use 12 hour chronograph timer adds extended timing capability along with more accuracy. Including a one year Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty the watch is estate priced at $5,900.00 CAD. Stock #501-00415.
