Overview
The IWC Aquatimer Automatic 2000 reference IW358002 represents the pinnacle of IWC's dive-watch engineering, rated to 2,000 metres and housed in a 46 mm titanium case. Its black dial and robust construction place it firmly in the professional diver category, while the Aquatimer's signature internal/external bezel system ensures safe, tool-free operation even with gloved hands. Calibre 80110 provides the automatic movement at its heart.
History
IWC introduced the Aquatimer line in 1967, and the Automatic 2000 variant has long represented the collection's most technically demanding expression. The IW358002 was produced from 2014 to 2020, occupying a niche for collectors who prize genuine depth-rated capability alongside IWC's Swiss manufacture credentials. Its titanium case, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, became a defining material choice for this reference. The model's discontinuation in 2020 has since drawn collector attention to well-preserved examples.
Notable points

- The Aquatimer's patented internal/external rotating bezel system allows the dive-time scale to be operated from outside the case without compromising water resistance.
- Calibre 80110 is an automatic movement with a date function, built to IWC's in-house standards.
- Produced from 2014 to 2020, the reference has a defined production window that appeals to collectors seeking a complete provenance picture.
