I'm not usually that enthusiastic about Omegas but that's lovely, very classy.

What model is this? Just gone through the whole thread and this is my favourite.

As for me....

I think they call it aquatimer. It's a new model, at least that particular design. I like it too but it's very expensive for something that's going to date quickly.

Thank you very much,it came with a stainless bracelet and a NATO,and a space strap......for you know,wearing over a space suit.....

Thought the simple black strap with white stitching really suits it.

It's actually a pretty old Aquatimer design and they can be picked up pretty cheap.

Not all that cheap in this condition.

It's a 3538 from 2009 and to my eye it's not dated at all.

No, yours is a mint one and titanium but aquatimers can be a good buy and inexpensive.

Thanks and no, not that cheap by the look of it! A little out of my league but a lovely watch, looks spot on to me.

I don't think that this design has or will date poorly. Of all the Aquatimer generations, this is the most cohesive in terms of design, employing titanium and the compressor-style case with internal bezel. It's a far better looking watch than the two generations that followed. I think that IWC's designs hit their peak in the early to mid 2000s before they started going crazy with bigger cases and altimeter date windows.

Lovely pic. That makes we want to get a Pepsi bezel for my black bezel 16700
