In celebration of its first dive watch's 50th anniversary, IWC included a perpetual calendar, flyback chronograph and Ceratanium, a world-first material combining the best aspects of titanium (lightness and durability) with ceramic (hard and scratch-resistant). The perpetual calendar uses apertures to display the day and month, with a subdial at 6 o'clock for leap years. At 12 o'clock, there's a combined totalizer with hour and minute counters. Rather than a unidirectional bezel, it uses a proprietary SafeDive system with rotating internal and external bezels. The internal bezel only moves when the external bezel is rotated in a counterclockwise direction, ensuring your dive time cannot accidentally be shortened.
