The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galapagos Islands is a competent diving watch from a prestigious watchmaker. This special edition, in black vulcanized rubber, gives what is normally a relatively boring watch a fresh look. Designed to call attention to IWC’s relationship with the Charles Darwin Foundation, the watch features special engravings on the back to denote the promotion of ecologically sound behavior.

Despite a great history of sport watches from IWC, the modern Aquatimer has yet to distinguish itself stylistically. The Galapagos Islands edition is a step in the right direction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offering a useful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attractive chronograph in the increasingly popular all-black look. This watch features a depiction of the Galapagos Islands’ unofficial mascot, the giant tortoise, on the back and is part of IWC’s Novelties collection, meaning there will be a limited number produced. All of this adds up to a unique and interesting, but very wearable, sport watch.

The Aquatimer Galapagos Islands Edition features IWC’s mechanical, self-winding movement with a power reserve of 44 hours. Adding to the functionality of this watch, it includes a small hacking seconds dial,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], day and date displays, a screw-in crown, mechanical rotating external bezel, luminescent elements on hands, dial and external bezel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sapphire glass with antireflective coating on both sides, and what we think is probably the best idea on a dive watch we’ve seen in a while: IWC’s new bracelet quick-change system. This new concept, licensed from sister-brand Cartier, allows the wearer to quickly swap straps in a matter of seconds without the use of any tools -- perfect for divers needing a rubber strap to fit over a wet-suit on the weekends, but who prefer a steel or leather bracelet for the office during the week. This watch is rated at 12 bars, or about 400 feet, so unless you are doing some very deep diving,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galapagos Islands can handle anything you throw at it.
