The urbane and street smart Ricardo Tubbs, played in the film Miami Vice by Jamie Foxx, wears the IWC Aquatimer Split Minute Chronograph in the film's nighttime scenes. With it's luminous elements, clearly laid-out dial and the lightweight titanium case and bracelet, the Aquatimer was ideal for the sweltering days and nights on set as they shot in exotic locations such as Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.

Miami Vice liberates what is adult, dangerous and alluring about working deeply undercover. To help reflect the new modern style of both Miami and Miami Vice, the film opted to include two IWC timepieces, the IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic and for the story's daytime scenes he wears a IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic.
