Service for your Aquatimer Automatic
All the component parts of this watch are manufactured
from the best materials. In spite of this, a number of
parts are subject to natural wear. It is particularly impor-
tant to ensure that the points of wear are always opti-
mally lubricated and that contamination of the oil by
metal-to-metal abrasion is eliminated in good time.
This is why we recommend that you have a maintenance
service carried out on your watch about every 5 years.
Please contact an approved IWC Official Agent or
send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service
Department in Schaffhausen.
Adjusting the metal bracelet
The metal bracelet of your IWC watch can be readily
adjusted to the size of your wrist. You can make this
adjustment yourself by removing or adding individual
bracelet links.
Taking the bracelet apart
and removing individual links
Open the push-button release
safety clasp by pressing the button
on the side. Lay the bracelet with
its top surface on a firm base.
Using the special tools provided,
you can now push down the secur-
ing pin (1) at the desired point of
separation and, at the same time,
displace the pivot pin laterally by
about 3 mm (2) with the second
special tool.
Now pull the protruding pivot pin
from the bracelet. The metal
bracelet is now separated, and
you can adjust the length of the
bracelet by removing or adding
individual links.
