Earlier this week we asked you which Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph you preferred – blue or black. The blue Monaco was your favorite by a 3 to 1 margin.
Knowing that you like blue watches, it only makes sense to select an IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Cousteau Divers as our watch of the moment. Here is a bit of background on the collaboration between IWC and The Cousteau Society (courtesy of The Watch Quote):
The cooperation between The Cousteau Society and IWC, first entered into in 2004, has since grown into a close friendship. The anniversary expedition to the coral reefs in the Red Sea in the year 2003, undertaken with the support of IWC, marked the start of this cooperation: 50 years after the legendary voyage of Jacques-Yves Cousteau into these maritime wonders of nature on his research vessel Calypso, the divers of The Cousteau Society were able, by making direct comparisons, to find evidence that the submarine biotopes were still predominantly in a reassuringly good state and were in need of strict conservation measures. 50 years after the voyage, a new film was also made in this wonderful “Silent World”, which backs up this statement. Now, through a second campaign, the Schaffhausen watch manufactory is again supporting the active marine conservationists and the heirs of the Commander: Part of the proceeds from sales of a Special Edition of the Aquatimer Chronograph limited to 2,500 watches will go to The Cousteau Society.
The model below, available on eRelyx, is a limited edition piece from 2007. It is model 3781.01, is in like new condition, and comes complete with box and papers. The original retail price was $5,800. The model sold out quickly and often fetches a price above the original retail. Here at eRelyx, we are offering it for $4,690. Get this tough to find model before it’s too late!
