This incredible watch is fully created in the tribute to the father of the theory of evolution – Charles Darwin.


This IWC Aquatimer chronograph in special edition has a huge 44mm case made of bronze, which was popular in those days because of its non-corrosive features and pays homage to the HMS Beagle that carried him on expedition to the Galapagos Islands.

It has internal rotating bezel with SafeDive system, rubber coated push buttons on the right. Date window is at 3 o’clock.
