Got this a couple of weeks ago. Super comfortable rubber strap and a dial to die for!
IWC Aquatimer Cousteau Diver ( 2004 ).
That was a IWC I liked... Which is sadly not with me anymore.
That was a very good summer watch!
Best,
Nicolas
I owned this one on bracelet
It was indeed a bright Summer companion, but like many IWC's I have owned, I could not get it to fit comfortably (on bracelet) and while I admired the dial and case, it was finally too bright blue/orange and lost its novelty for me... the ti 2526 (is it?) was my favorite and I wish I never sold that one, even though it also was impossible to size right on bracelet lol.
The comfort on the wrist is very important. There are watches I let go because of that. On the ribber strap, as pictured, no problem. [nt]

Love that 1st image! The dial, color combo and perfect size is what attracted me to it. Mine is #1953, my birth year. Its at my other abode but I have this group shot handy. Definitely a
keeper for me!
Thanks! Unfortunately the titanium PO has left me but I still have the rest. [nt]

I particularly admire the UN Marine PC that can be set forward of backward. Terrific piece! [nt]

Thank you again my friend. Various aspects of that whatch have never ceased to amaze me. UN was a very bright star in the horology cosmos when it came out. In that period the hits just
kept coming from UN. One after another. Wish I had the coin to own more top tier UNs from that era.
And… I love your avatar. Reminds me of our lovely, now gone to that great Kitty circle in the Cosmos. Those white paws! FH [nt]

Ooooof, superb blue stable you have, my friend. The Blue UN PC is a killer. [nt]

That watch was on my radar few years ago, but never pulled the trigger
Because it was difficult to get the comfortable fit with the bracelet. On top of that, I was worry because of the integrated rubber strap, which may be hard to buy new because it was discontinued model.
I don't know how long IWC will produce the rubber straps for their discontinued models. No matter how good the quality of the rubber, eventually it will break.

Good point. Not too long ago I bought a new strap for that Cousteau diver... probably should grab another if they are still available. [nt]

Perfect summer watch!
