Just for Fun: What do you think about Black Manta's IWC in the new Aquaman movie?

Here's what I got as far as I can see on 25:25 time marker:

  • Automatic movement, no idea what caliber it uses, but apparently they haven't figured out how to use Atlantean tech to juice up the watch

  • 2000 meter WR for unimpended dive & battle in the ocean depth

  • Reddish lume on brand logo, hands, chapter ring & bezel, perfect for a super villain look

  • Second hand is not legible, guess terrorizing the 7 oceans doesn't require to-the-second precision

  • The 5 minutes bezel markers seem to be inside the crystal rather than on the bezel, kinda like a super compressor style, but can't locate the second crown to rotate it if it's indeed a super compressor

  • Black rubber strap to match the costume & intense water activities

I personally don't think it's a real watch made by IWC, more like a prop used for shooting. Anyway kinda fun to see the Black Manta used IWC for his watch. I thought he's more into Phoibos with the octopus logo or Heimdall with the shark logo 😂

Have you watched the movie? What do you think about the watch?

The fact that you got 25:25 into the movie and stayed awake means you’ve won the internet tonight🤣

But yes…

Let's say i'm curious to see how the story goes with the new sequel. I'm just a plain old sucker for classic super heroes movies 😜

This is the one where Momoa turns into Lobo 🤣

You got a solid point, Momoa looks more like Lobo than comic version Aquaman with his hair & facial feature 🤣

I doubt it's possible to have the same actor plays 2 different characters in the same DC universe, but will be really fun if it gets real 🍻

Well that’s the beauty of James Gunn, he pretty much said everything not touched by him does not count

Wonder how much IWC paid for that product placement.

Apparently the watch was indeed custom made by IWC based on their aqua timer and not a fake prop watch, although I can’t imagine anyone wanting to take credit for it. I say this as a fan and owner of IWC - that watch is hideous lol

Looks like they may have removed the crown that rotates the interior bezel.

There’s no need to have a working dive bezel when you’re superhuman.👽

Now that's a real news! Thanks for the info 👍

Indeed, it's ugly even for a villain standard, can't even compare to the real Aquatimer on your pic above 😂

Movie appeals as much as being kicked repeatedly in the crown jewels but prop watch looks cool...

Let's just say, I immediately started paying attention again.
