IWC Aquatimer Deep One.
Gone, but not forgotten. I got it in the early 2000's. Sold it 5 or 6 years later, but it was quite a watch. Always loved the idea of a mechanical depth gauge in a wrist watch, even if I didn't really have the need of it.

And its titanium case was one of the reasons I bought it, too. There weren't many titanium watches at that time.

A really special and technical piece.
Nobody makes watches like this anymore. No more super niche technical watches anymore. They've all become "luxury objets d'art" and no longer "tools" for specialists.
Yes... Bring back the niche watches!
As a president of a watch company - I would think, this watch is going to cost a lot to develop. Development costs in the past 20 years (since the IWC mentioned above was made) have definitely gone up A LOT. And thus, the small volumes would mean that thi...
Yes! Wow Factor. X Factor!
I've got so many ideas - some rather elaborate - that serve really niche markets.
Ah, there used to be a titanium era of Nico’s? 😁🦾
Fully agree that there’s a lot less of this experimentation and complication exploration nowadays than back then. Unfortunately 🤷🏻♂️
I miss mine soooo much
Not sure what happened, after my last dive I checked and everything was screwd down, or maybe it was a valve failure… but my case flooded with sea water, and this is what happened: It’s so light, just even picking it up now to shoot this picture was a tru...

Quite an achievement then. Remains today a much bigger
Blancpain with a depth gauge. Oris has one with a very simple system.
Such a fantastic and peculiar watch
I enjoy wearing these two followers, but they are pretenders to the throne. The Deep One is the true king! ...
