    Hello,
    I have just bought a IWC Aquatimer Split Minute Chronograph which has the larger face than the standard Chronograph version. I am referring to the original style Aquatimer with the compressor divers two crowns and the internal rotating Bezel on the non chrono version (and the three "crowns" on the chrono version which also has the rotating internal bezel).
    I know that on the non split minute version, the rubber strap and titanium bracelets can be swapped but can someone please tell me if the strap or bracelet from the non split minute can fit the split minute Aquatimer?

    I have found the answer. The Split minute is slightly larger in all dimensions. The Straps and bracelets for the split minute are slightly wider than the standard standard Aquatimer but the pins are the same. Thus a standard titanium bracelet will fit the Split Minute but there will be slight play in the bracelet of almost 1.5mm. Not really noticeable but when we are talking IWC, we should always have perfection to match the watch.
    The same applies when the Split Mknute bracelt is fitted to a standard Aquatimer...it is too wide by about 1.5mm and will not fit.

    The black, blue & brown rubber straps from the 3782 Cousteau Divers Aquatimer Chrono will fit your Aquatimer Split Minute Chrono.
