Hi all iwc lover,I have a quick question,I'm wonder where can I get something like a strap converter for my aquatimer as below then I can change and enjoy straps trending? Because I've checked from ad the ori bracelet cost 5k plus...Appreated for any response :) have a nice day guys...

never owned a aquatimer, should be easy to remove spring bar and change any other 3rd party leather/rubber strap, bracelet should be harder..

i'd recomm isofrane rubber strap  :thumbsup:


David,this aquatimer came with quick release gasp,so no spring bar were use(which i hope it's spring bar will be more easier),so to change the strap might need the converter for any after market straps... :Blue:

No idea yet, even the website has not been updated yet with this model. Seems like the brochure is the official 'leak' for some of the models. This one was under the radar.

Yes, it should be identical to the current Titanium Dual Time.

Hmm, true. But traditionally, Inge in the 60s doesn't have that texture dial to begin with. Appraising to historical models is a good way of cutting cost :P

Tried on the new Aquatimer.

The Internal bezel is fun to play with. It snaps to the minute, so no in between. Because the index is IN the glass and close to the dial, it is more precise than external bezel (I'm not a diver, so I'm not sure if this matters or not, but it is a cool device still). Because it is operated externally via the bezel-grip, one need not take off his fingers to continue the rotation. I was playing with it for minutes. I'd say its a bit more convenient than the traditional crown operated internal bezel.

The rubber strap is very very soft, with the quick change system to the bracelet. Surprisingly, I find that appealing. for someone like me who doesn't like rubber to begin with (Mmmm, soft rubber, almost like not wearing anything). But logic will tell you to get the bracelet first and buy the rubber strap later, to save more. 

Overall, built quality is good, but the design may not appeal to all. The brush surface is nice, and most likely will be a scratch magnet. The caseback is solid and totally flat, so it sits very well on the wrist.

What I find appealing is the size. at 42mm it is nice for everyday wear and for smaller wrist like mine. Pricey though for an ETA/ Sellita movement (though reliable), but then again, a watch is not just about the movement, its the entire package. And this package is nice!

Yes I have the same feeling too. I think they are finding the right design balance :) They can't go on changing design all the time for many models. it is gonna be very cost inefficient.
