For IWC and the brand’s fans, 2014 is the year of the Aquatimer, a classic design last run as a series in 2009. As its name suggests, the Aquatimer is a diver’s watch, and the new timepieces will be water-resistant up to 2000 meters below sea level. But, buyers don’t have to go underwater to appreciate the watches’ readable dials and shimmering lumes. Judging from the pre-trade-show pictures, the 2014 watches’ iconic rubber coating and conservative dedication to utility will appeal to pros and non-divers alike.
