This replica Aquatimer IW358004 is the Los Roques Edition, part of a series of ocean-themed Aquatimer specials named after protected marine environments. Los Roques is a Venezuelan archipelago known for coral reefs and clear Caribbean waters, and the Schaffhausen manufacture chose it for this limited-edition dive watch. The IW358004 carries the Aquatimer Automatic 2000 platform with its extreme 2000-meter depth rating and adds edition-specific dial details along with caseback artwork depicting the archipelago’s marine ecosystem. The color palette shifts toward blues and greens referencing the Caribbean waters of Los Roques.

Technical Overview

• Case material: stainless steel with reinforced depth-rated construction
• Dial: edition-specific color scheme with luminous markers and hands
• Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating
• Water resistance: 2000 meters
• Bezel: SafeDive internal rotating bezel
• Caseback: Los Roques archipelago engraving in detailed relief

The 2000-meter depth rating carries over directly from the base Aquatimer 2000 platform, giving this edition the same professional-grade construction beneath its special-edition aesthetics and Caribbean-inspired visual identity.

Inside the Movement

The automatic movement inside matches the standard Aquatimer 2000 caliber, providing reliable timekeeping with a date complication at 3 o’clock and power reserve sufficient for daily wear. The Los Roques Edition does not add mechanical complexity over the base model. Instead, IWC focused the edition’s identity entirely on the visual package and the conservation story behind the name. The caseback engraving is a signature element across ocean edition releases from this manufacturer. Compare this against the Sharks Edition, which takes a different marine conservation angle on the same Aquatimer foundation. Browse the full Aquatimer range to see how standard, commemorative, and limited editions layer across different specification and collector tiers.

What Sets It Apart

The Los Roques Edition combines 2000-meter engineering with Caribbean-inspired aesthetics in a way no standard Aquatimer reference achieves. Standard 2000-rated references like the IW358001 offer the same depth performance but without the limited-edition character or location-specific narrative. If you want both the engineering credibility and the collector appeal of a named edition, the IW358004 provides that combination with a conservation story attached to every detail. This replica Aquatimer IW358004 puts the Los Roques special edition on the wrist with all its 2000-meter depth credentials and distinctive Caribbean-themed detailing intact.
