[rnsm1979]

look more impress with the internal bezel

[sean]

I like the expedition Charles Darwin version with bronze case pretty cool.

[CKL1213]

I wonder why they still keeping the comic font

[sidestreaker]

I like all the new design overall, the internal bezel for all the models set them apart from others. I think it is in the right direction in reinterpreting the original vintage aquatimer design.

Looking forward to more news and to check out the ETA/Sellita base model, Aquatimer Automatic. It's a 42mm, and almost like the little brother of the AT-2000 of the pic above.

[squasub]

i think the design is like a seiko diver watch

[davidtth]

nice looking no doubt, but its getting overprice year by year...

Yeah... prices are up year by year...
Even worse when GST implement when 2015 comes... 

[swleong]

will give this model a skip.

What's the grip looking thing at the outer bezel while the actual rotational bezel is inside?

[skyliner23]

Looks like an overpriced seiko .....did IWC run out of ideas or design? Might as well get a spitfire chrono

[sshark]

sad. with gst MY will never be the same again.

say, i like the bronze case version and hopefully a 3 hands automatic version will come later in the year

[chrisyen]

its the bezel design inherited from the IWC-Porsche era?

[sshark]

copied or not, the bezel general design is pretty common. i like the design though.

[hanz079]

The outer bezel is used to rotate the inner bezel.
Once you have seen it in action, most will probably give the watch a second look.

With other watches that sport an internal rotating bezel, it's mostly operated by a separated screw down crown which basically renders it useless underwater (yeah I know most who buy a diving watch will not use it for diving anyway)

The chapter ring looks a bit cheap here:

interesting, using a bezel to rotate another bezel

Hmmm, it is pricey but perhaps not too far-fetch. After developing the liking for the IWC Ingenieur Automatic, I somewhat look forward to the entry model for the aquatimer.

Looks a bit thick for a ETA base-movement, but I guess we'll just have wait till we see it, and feel it on the wrist. from the pictures it looks very 'blockish' and very fundamental, bordering the impression of being unrefined, which oddly I find it rather appealing. Compared to the Ingenieur, I think the AT line is very much geared towards being more of a tool watch.

The new Aquatimer, according to the article, is using IWC caliber 80110 (which based on Valjoux 7750) automatic movement.
