The IW329104 is IWC's 42mm Aquatimer Automatic, a dive watch recognised for its internal rotating bezel and clean, highly legible dial. Our 1:1 replica recreates that silhouette in stainless steel, with an automatic movement, sapphire crystal and a luminous dial. It is made for buyers who want the weight, proportions and wrist presence of the original without the boutique price tag.
Short answer: yes, this is a wearable, well-finished copy of the IW329104 that looks the part on the wrist. Just treat it as a style piece rather than a true tool diver, and keep it out of the water.

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and finished to echo the original's contrast between satin and mirror surfaces. The dial is matte with applied indices, and the crystal is sapphire rather than mineral glass, so it resists scratching in daily use. Inside sits an automatic movement with hacking seconds and roughly a 40-hour power reserve. Case diameter is 42mm, thickness is around 14mm and the lug width is 22mm, which suits most wrists from about 15cm upward. Water resistance is splash-level only: rain and hand washing are fine, but we do not recommend swimming, diving, hot showers or saunas with any replica.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly with no external branding and are usually processed within one to two business days. Tracking is provided once your parcel leaves the warehouse, and delivery typically takes seven to fourteen business days depending on destination. If the watch is not right for you, unworn pieces returned in their original packaging within 30 days qualify for an exchange or refund. Quality-check photos are available before dispatch on request, and our support team answers sizing and strap questions by email.
Is the fake iw329104 comfortable for daily wear?
Yes. At 42mm with a soft rubber strap it sits flat on the wrist and works under a shirt cuff or with casual clothing. The screw-down crown and sapphire crystal hold up well to everyday knocks.
How close is it to the genuine IW329104?
Externally it is very close: case shape, bezel operation, dial layout and lume all match the look. The differences sit inside, in movement finishing and tolerances, so a jeweller with a loupe may spot them while anyone across a table will not.
What arrives in the box?
You receive the watch on its fitted strap, a presentation box, a travel pouch and our own workshop warranty card. No genuine manufacturer paperwork or certificates are included.
