Continuing a legacy of preservation since IWC began working with the Charles Darwin Foundation in 2009, IWC now turns their considerable attention to solving the issue of increasing numbers of shark species facing extinction. The result is the IWC Aquatimer Shark Edition, an effort which Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen aims to raise awareness of the 100 million or so sharks caught each year while living in environments which suffer from depleted food resources, further impacting the endangered species.

IWC Aquatimer Shark Special Edition

The special edition of the Schaffhausen manufacture’s Aquatimer diver’s watch comes in a limited production of 500 watches as denoted by the caseback engraving of a unique hammerhead shark. The IWC Aquatimer Shark Edition is a chronograph edition exclusively packaged with Michael Muller’s TASCHEN book “Sharks” from which this special edition diver’s chronograph draws its name.
