IWC · Family: Aquatimer
The IWC Aquatimer Automatic 2000 (ref. IW358002) is a 46mm titanium professional dive watch, with 200 bar (2,000 meters) of water resistance and IWC's SafeDive inner bezel system, which can only rotate counterclockwise to prevent overestimating remaining dive time. It runs the automatic Caliber 80110, with ~44 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet for this reference. Its differential: it's the first Aquatimer family reference Cazador adds, extending IWC's coverage beyond the Pilot's Watch and Portugieser lines already in the catalog.

IWC introduced its first dedicated dive watch line, the Aquatimer, in 1967, incorporating an internal bezel driven by an independent crown, a system the Schaffhausen manufacture has refined across later generations under the SafeDive name. The family has been reworked several times since, with the Automatic 2000 generation representing one of the executions most oriented toward professional technical diving within the line's historical catalog.
This reference, IW358002, stands out within the Automatic 2000 family for its 46mm titanium case, a material IWC reserves for executions aimed at the most intensive professional use, versus the 44mm stainless steel versions also available in the same generation. Titanium offers greater corrosion resistance than steel and considerably less weight, a relevant advantage on a watch of this size.
The SafeDive system is the Aquatimer's central technical feature: the external bezel, toothed for easy handling with diving gloves, mechanically drives an internal bezel that can only rotate counterclockwise. This guarantees that if the bezel shifts accidentally during a dive, the resulting error will always indicate less remaining dive time than the actual amount, never more — prioritizing the diver's safety over convenience.
Beneath the dial sits Caliber 80110, an automatic movement with roughly 44 hours of power reserve, housed in a case rated to 200 bar of water resistance — equivalent to 2,000 meters — well beyond recreational diving standards and in line with the professional-tool vocation IWC assigns to this particular Aquatimer execution.
This is the first Aquatimer family reference Cazador adds, extending IWC's coverage beyond the Pilot's Watch, Portugieser, Portofino, and Ingenieur lines already in the catalog.
Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.
It's an internal bezel mechanism that can only rotate counterclockwise, so any accidental shift during a dive can only indicate less remaining time than actual, never more, prioritizing the diver's safety.
IWC offers the Aquatimer Automatic 2000 in both 46mm titanium and 44mm stainless steel within the same generation. Titanium provides greater corrosion resistance and less weight, geared toward more intensive professional use.

Yes. IWC's references already in Cazador belong to the Pilot's Watch, Portugieser, Portofino, and Ingenieur families; this is the first from the Aquatimer line.
