I hope to see this one on many peoples' wrists soon. I really like the direction IWC has taken over the past two years! In-house movements with a more realistic pricing than previously and a good evolution in the Portugese and Pilot lines.

This is a good choice for those who want a smaller diameter and automatic winding. The lack of 'Automatic' printed on the dial and the lack of a date are positives in my opinion. I also like that the movement has some skeletonisation to it so that you can...
