    Hi
    If we search on our IWC-site we see a link were the complications IWC has produced are discribed:  www.iwc.com/en/complications/perpetual-calendar.html (!)

    just press complications, and you will find the
    ANNUAL CALENDAR
    PERPETUAL CALENDAR
    CONSTANT-FORCE TOURBILLON
    TOURBILLON
    DOUBLE CHRONOGRAPH
    MINUTE REPEATER
    TOURBILLON MYSTÈRE
    GRANDE COMPLICATION
    TIMEZONER 
    RETROGRADE DATE DISPLAY

    PERPETUAL CALENDAR WITH DIGITAL DATE AND MONTH DISPLAYS
    DEPTH GAUGE
    MONOPUSHER
    HACKING TOURBILLON
    All great complications, but the Split Minute is NOT present. The ONLY chronograph with additional minute hand for split minute function as used in the unique Aquatimer Split Seconds is not mentioned as a complication.
    And that happens to be a GREAT complication for active DIvers (!)
    The IWC Aquatimer Split Minute is as you might know an unusual version of IWC's Aquatimer dive watch. It's self-winding movement with chronograph and date has an additional minute hand that can be stopped using a slide at the 9 o'clock side of the case, enabling its owner to take records up to 60 minutes. Therefore SUPER usefull for a Diver to measure his decompression Stop on the way up, while still be able to see the diving time (as set by the internal rotating bezel).

    Love that watch. These pieces from 2000-2010 have so much sexy old school appeal to them. And indeed the complication is overshadowed.
