Overview
The IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau (IW376805) is a 44 mm stainless steel diver's chronograph produced between 2014 and 2020 as part of IWC's long-running Aquatimer collection. Its deep blue dial evokes the underwater world that defined Cousteau's life work, while the robust case and diver-oriented architecture reflect the Aquatimer line's commitment to serious water resistance. Calibre 79320, a column-wheel chronograph movement, powers the watch.
History
IWC has maintained a partnership with the Cousteau Society, using special editions within the Aquatimer family to raise awareness of ocean conservation — a cause central to Jacques-Yves Cousteau's enduring legacy. The IW376805 was introduced in 2014 and remained in production until around 2020, making it one of the longer-running Cousteau-dedicated references in the Aquatimer line. Collectors regard it as a meaningful intersection of tool-watch functionality and environmental advocacy, attributes that resonate strongly in the modern collector market.
