AQUATIMER AUTOMATIC 2000 – REF. IW356802
The Aquatimer Automatic 2000, with its tested pressure resistance to 200 bar, still holds the horological record for water resistance.
Its automatic 30110 caliber contains 40 jewels, beats at 28,800 vph and offers 21 hours of power reserve. The stainless steel
watch features a rhodium-plated black dial and a black external mechanical rotating bezel with the familiar luminous yellow
15-minute segment of the previous Aquatimer. Yellow is also used for the minute hand, which indicates the dive time, to ensure
a clear distinction. A second variant has a white dial with orange or white numerals on a white or dark blue background on the
rotating bezel and an orange hour hand. Shown here on a black rubber strap, the Aquatimer Automatic 2000 is also available on
a stainless steel bracelet.
