IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Day-Date IW376804 White Dial CD Factory Super Clone Replica

The Aquatimer Chronograph Day-Date is one of those IWC designs that either collapses under replication or stays convincing through use. This CD Factory super clone replica of the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Day-Date IW376804, finished in stainless steel with a white dial and black rubber strap, holds together for a simple reason: the model itself prioritizes structure, legibility, and functional layout over decorative finesse, and CD Factory did not fight that logic.

This is not a watch that relies on shine or visual drama. It relies on balance, spacing, and mechanical restraint. When those are respected, the watch remains believable long after the first inspection.

Correct Model Identification and Visual Cues

This watch is the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Day-Date reference IW376804. The identification is clear and unambiguous based on the following elements:

  • Stainless steel case with integrated chronograph pushers

  • Internal rotating dive bezel operated via the external bezel

  • Tri-compax chronograph layout

  • Day-date window at 3 o’clock

  • White dial with black printing and high-contrast markers

  • Rubber strap with IWC-style texture

Confusing this reference with the non-day-date Aquatimer chronographs would immediately expose inconsistencies in dial layout and text balance. CD Factory correctly reproduces the day-date configuration, which is central to this model’s identity.

Case Geometry and Tool-Watch Proportion

At 44 mm, the IW376804 is large but not aggressive. CD Factory maintains the correct case diameter, thickness, and lug geometry, avoiding the common replica error of over-thickening to compensate for movement limitations.

The 316L stainless steel case is brushed rather than polished, which is correct for an Aquatimer. Sharp mirror finishes would contradict the tool-watch intent and look incorrect after real wear. Edges are firm but not razor-sharp, allowing the watch to age naturally without visual fatigue.

The crown and chronograph pushers are properly spaced and proportioned, preserving usability without crowding the case flank.

Dial Balance and Chronograph Legibility

The white dial is where this reference lives or dies. CD Factory handles it well by avoiding excessive gloss or artificial warmth. The dial surface remains matte-leaning, which keeps reflections under control indoors and under mixed lighting.

Chronograph layout remains readable despite density:

  • The central chronograph seconds hand is clearly differentiated

  • Sub-dials are evenly spaced and do not crowd the central axis

  • The minute and hour hands maintain visual priority over sub-dial clutter

The day-date window at 3 o’clock is correctly aligned and proportioned. Font weight and spacing remain consistent, avoiding the cramped look seen on weaker replicas. This detail matters more over time than during quick inspection.

Bezel System, Crystal, and Lume Behavior

The Aquatimer’s SafeDive bezel system—external bezel controlling an internal rotating timing ring—is reproduced with correct resistance and alignment. Rotation feels deliberate rather than loose, and the internal scale tracks cleanly without lag.

The sapphire crystal uses an internal anti-reflective coating with a neutral tone. There is no exaggerated blue cast, which would be immediately noticeable against a white dial. Reflections are softened but not eliminated, matching the genuine watch’s utilitarian character.

Lume performance is practical rather than theatrical. The luminous compound charges evenly and fades gradually, maintaining legibility rather than chasing brightness numbers.

Movement Choice: Practical and Stable

This CD Factory Aquatimer Chronograph uses a 7750-based automatic chronograph movement with day-date complication, the only realistic architecture for this configuration.

The genuine IW376804 uses an IWC-modified in-house caliber, which is not structurally replicable without sacrificing reliability. CD Factory does not attempt visual mimicry where it cannot be supported mechanically.

Chronograph operation is stable:

  • Start, stop, and reset actions engage cleanly

  • Reset alignment is consistent

  • Timekeeping remains predictable during daily wear

Given the solid caseback, this movement choice prioritizes ownership stability over theoretical authenticity, which is the correct decision for this reference.

Rubber Strap and Wearing Stability

The black rubber strap is dense and well-shaped, balancing the stainless steel case without feeling stiff. Texture is functional and avoids the glossy finish common to lower-grade replicas.

On the wrist, the watch sits flat and stable. Despite the chronograph weight, it does not roll excessively, which is critical for a daily-wear dive chronograph.

This is a watch you feel on the wrist, but it never becomes cumbersome.

Where CD Factory’s IW376804 Stands

Among Aquatimer Chronograph replicas, CD Factory’s execution favors structural correctness over cosmetic exaggeration. Other factories often oversaturate the white dial or mismanage day-date spacing, errors that become obvious with time.

This version remains visually coherent through extended wear, which is the real measure of a successful Aquatimer replica.

Who This Watch Is For

This replica suits wearers who want a functional chronograph diver with real-world legibility and mechanical stability. It works for those who value usability over refinement and prefer a watch that remains convincing in daily rotation.

It is not intended for collectors seeking display movements or decorative finishing.
