Great watch, I love it, even though it is worn only occasionally in my rotation scheme !
It suddenly stopped about 2 years ago, so I sent it for service to IWC (specifically without polish, as it is in very good condition) and I think it is back on track for a few years.
Overall an excellent watch I love the titanium cold and light feeling, in stainless steel the weight was crazy so I am glad I went for the Ti version. To be noted (if I am not wrong) these Aquatimers were the last IWC in Ti.
Regarding depth I went around 5 meters (+/- 15ft) deep in apnoea this summer, it seems that this is as deep as it gets with these desk divers
Lastly, I would say that the newer IWC do not appeal to me as the series of these days, but here it is personal tastes !

Mine from more than a decade ago. Titanium rated for 2000 meters. ...

What was the deepest you took if? [nt]

By: K-Lo : September 17th, 2020-13:39

A few feet - maybe 8 feet? [nt]

I was hoping you were going to say you took it to the Mariana Trench. Oh well, some divers only see deep waters on TV, 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Yes, I got the Deepsea for that but it was too heavy and I got scared of the depths it pulled me into 😂

😭😭😭😭😭😭

Well, you know what they say? Sometimes, “it’s the weight, that pulls you down.” Not really, I just made that up.

Yeah I definitely feel my Deepsea when I wear it. Weighs you down for sure. [nt]

Great piece. Enjoy in the best of health! [nt]

Also titanium! Doesn't go as deep

By: blau : September 17th, 2020-14:30

A mere 120 meters water resistance on this one, but I have ALSO taken it down to 8 feet! I really enjoy this watch. It's fantastically well made and yet so light, and I love its funky techiness. It even fulfills a sort of retrofuturist vibe--looks like so...

Aaaahhhh. This is the other titanium AT I always keep my eye on

The inner bezel with the chrono is a great piece and i believe uses the same braceletrubber strap as my 3536-01.

It does indeed use the same rubber strap as the 3536! [nt]

Cousteau from 2004. Alas not with me anymore.

Interesting that we've all posted the same generation Aquatimers.

By: blau : September 18th, 2020-04:58

There have been at least 2 (maybe 3?) generations of the watch since these.

Believe it or not, the previous generation is a bit more popular amongst collectors

By: India Whiskey Charlie : September 18th, 2020-07:57

The 3536 as seen here: watchbase.com watchbase.com watchbase.com

Right! I was expecting to see one of two of those as well.

By: blau : September 18th, 2020-13:23

Those are great watches. I can see why they're beloved, though I prefer the quirk of the internal bezel models.

My 3536-01 Says Hi

By: Darron : September 25th, 2020-20:35

...

Great titanium pair!

By: blau : September 26th, 2020-03:51

And I'm surprised it took so long for a 3536 to show up here!

Lol!! I need a new photo of my 3536

By: Darron : September 26th, 2020-07:50

Yeah was going to post earlier but I was digging for a new solo pic. Didn’t find one I liked. The 3536 brushed titanium is very understated.... some might say it’s dull looking. 😀

Yes please 😊

By: India Whiskey Charlie : September 26th, 2020-08:08

Not dull at all 👍

Not a fan of the aquatimers from IWC! They never succeeded in the design. Too bad though [nt]

By: Makilla : September 19th, 2020-01:24

Such a cool watch! Really a cut above the Rolex Submariner of the time! [nt]
