The replica Aquatimer Deep Time recreates one of IWC's most purpose-built divers — the reference with a mechanical depth gauge built into the dial. It suits anyone who likes the deep-dive tool-watch silhouette: the tall case, the ratcheting bezel, the oversized lume. This is a replica, not a genuine IWC, and it is built and sold as such.

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and brushed to a matte, titanium-like grey. It measures roughly 46 mm across and 15 mm thick, with a 22 mm lug width and a 120-click bezel that lines up cleanly at twelve. The depth gauge is a genuine mechanical module driven by a pressure-sensing pin and reset by the crown at four o'clock. Water resistance is sealed and bench-tested by the builder before dispatch, but treat any replica as a desk diver — do not take it on a real dive.
Shipping and Returns
Orders ship discreetly within one to two business days with tracking provided. Unworn watches can be returned within 30 days in their original packaging; if something arrives damaged or faulty, contact us and we will replace or refund it.
Does the depth gauge actually work?
Yes. It is a mechanical indicator driven by water pressure, and the red marker stays at the deepest point reached until you reset it. It is accurate enough for pool and shallow-water use, but it is not a substitute for a dive computer.
Is it safe to swim with?
The crown seal and caseback gasket are pressure-tested before shipping, so swimming and showering are fine. We do not recommend diving or high-impact water sports with any replica.
How does it wear on a smaller wrist?
At 46 mm it is a big, top-heavy watch, so it suits wrists of about seven inches and up. The curved lugs and rubber strap help it sit closer to the wrist than the dimensions suggest.
