Watch Description

SPECIAL EDITION WITH VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION!IWC presents this special edition in dedication to the Galapagos-based Charles Darwin Foundation. Over 50 years, hundreds of scientists, students, teachers and volunteers from all over the world have been working on behalf of the Foundation at the Charles Darwin Research Station. The goal for the Galapagos scientific center is to research the indigenous fauna and flora and to save the Galapagos, a World Heritage site, from destruction. The Station trains national park guides, organizes seminars, publishes the findings of its research and collects donations. IWC contributes part of the proceeds from each sale of the Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galapagos Islands to the Charles Darwin Foundation.This watch features:

Stainless steel case & bezel ENTIRELY CLAD/COATED IN BLACK RUBBER, this is accomplished by a complex vulcanization process that leaves the watch with a matte black rubber coating, giving the watch a unique feel & look. The rubber also provides an additional layer of protection against impacts.

IWC SAFEDIVE SYSTEM Uni-directional rotating bezel:

Rotating the external bezel ring counter-clockwise will engage the inner bezel. However rotating the external bezel ring clockwise will not affect the inner bezel, thus preventing the risk of extending the period of time the diver remains under water. This is accomplished via the "sliding clutch system" which allows the external bezel to interact with the internal bezel ring - all the while maintaining the water resistance integrity of the watch. The sliding clutch system is fitted with a polished protective cover located on the case edge at the 9 o'clock position.

Black bezel ring located under the crystal.

Bezel indications: from 0 to 15 is white luminescent indications that illuminates green, from 15 to 0 is white printed indications (no luminescent).
