IWC IW376709

If you're familiar with International Watch Co timepieces, especially with the Aquatimer Chronograph series, you'll find that this IWC IW376709 (3767-09) is nearly identical with the previous steel on rubber version from the same reference that was released in 2009. Sporting the same gorgeous design, robust chronograph automatic caliber, and sophisticated features, this sporty watch is the 2011 release of the IWC Aquatimer ref 3767.


Just like its two-years older sibling, this handsome timepiece is a large size for gents. The round case, that is made of a premium 316L grade stainless steel measures 44 mm in diameter and 15 mm thick, meanwhile, its comfortable Black strap that is made of fine rubber measures approximately 20 mm wide. The caseback is solid, its bold, Black dial is shielded with a convex, glare-proofed sapphire glass, and its has a screw down crown with two push-buttons alongside at the right hand side.

As one of its series characteristics, this IWC 3767-09 features an uni-directional rotating bezel that is specifically developed for diving. Made of PVD-steel in Yellow and Black finish, the bezel is not only easy to use, but also has SuperLumiNova coated markers that remains luminescent for a long time under water to enable diver to time his decompression stops safely and precisely. In addition, the timepiece also includes a mechanical gauge that allowing it to measures depth for up to 50 m. And, for convenient fitting, the Black rubber bracelet that comes equipped with a deployant hidden folding clasp features push button for an extra security measures.

Unlike the 2009 version, this 2011 steel on rubber Aquatimer Chrono’s dial and all the sub-dials are Black. As expected, the main three hands that are made of polished steel, as well as the sub-dial hands, and sticks hour markers features SuperLuminova so that they remain visible in every light conditions --in which, speaking of the luminescent colors, the minute hand and small second hand fill are yellow, while the hour hand and sticks hour markers are white.

Similar to its previous model, beneath the case of this sporty IWC IW376709, there is the time tested IWC calibre 79320. This engine is a Swiss made automatic chronograph movement that is built based on the Valjoux 7750. The chronograph functions are served by the central sweep seconds hand, along 30 minute counter and 12 hour counter at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions respectively. Furthermore, this engine also features day and date that are displayed at the three o’clock position. Technically, the IWC caliber 79320 contains 25 jewels, beats at 28,800 vph, and provides around 44 hours of power reserve under when fully wound.

There is no difference in price. IWC 3767-09 Aquatimer Chronograph’s original suggested retail price is $5,600.00. And repeating our previous conclusion, for the given price, considering all of its quality offerings, this mid-end luxury wristwatch is a worth one.
