SUMMARY
Perhaps the most famous oceanographer to ever live was Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a French French naval officer, filmmaker, and author. IWC has been a strong supporter of the Cousteau Society since 2004, a nonprofit with the aim of marine preservation.
The reference IW354806 was released in 2004, limited to only 1953 pieces. It’s a homage to ‘The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure’, a book co-authored by Cousteau and Frédéric Dumas. The model features some quintessential dive watch attributes, 1000m water resistance, a 42mm case size, an internally rotating bezel, and a deep blue dial with bright orange accents for added legibility. Powering this robust tool watch is the IWC calibre 30110 which is based on the ETA 2892-A2, and is equipped with a 42-hour power reserve.
All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
