IWC Schaffhausen honours Jacques Yves Cousteau on his 100th birthday

IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau Ref. IW376706




11 June 2010 marks the 100th birthday of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the man that like no other individual in the 20th century has promoted and influenced research of the world’s oceans.

Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen, partner and sponsor of the Cousteau Society for many years, is proud to dedicate a fifth special edition to “Le Commandant” on this historic anniversary: the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

The watch is water resistant to 1,200 meters and features an impressive interchangeable strap system that makes removing and replacing the strap very easy – without any tools required. Inside the watch is an IWC automatic chronograph movement. While the piece isn’t a limited edition per se, IWC classifies it as a “special edition”, what means that very few will be made, but without a specific number.
