Rainy day - IWC Aquatimer Jacques Cousteau
Team,
I like this modern diver for several reasons:
The internal bezel is driven by rotating the external bezel with a very ingenious clutch mechanism.
The blue dial is to die for.
Legibility is outstanding.
Big, bold and "macho"
My single complain is the proprietary strap attachment, practical but limits to specific IWC straps/bracelets and (God forbid) NATO and Zulu straps.

Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo
