The selfwinding Aquatimer has two crowns, where one is used for the handset and the other for the internal timing bezel. The watch is fitted with IWC's in-house calibre 8541B that uses the famous Pellaton winding system. The Ingenieur models were equipped with the same movement.
This Aquatimer is a wonderfully preserved example where the case is in fantastic original condition.
