Aquatimer Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver / Rubber

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 300 m is a professional diving rating, far past any demand a wrist is likely to make of it.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW3290-03 is one of 5 executions of the IW3290 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver dial and a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2014.

Similar to 30110 - eta 2892-A2 base. Slightly higher cannon pinion.

7 other watches in the library run the IWC 30120.
