46 is not spectacular but still good enough in my world but 72 is obviously more 😀

IWC ADDS 41-MM CHRONOGRAPHS WITH IN-HOUSE MOVEMENTS TO PILOT’S WATCHES COLLECTION

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : April 8th, 2021-09:20
Schaffhausen, 7th April 2021 – IWC Schaffhausen has launched the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 at the digital Watches & Wonders exhibition. The new model features a stainless steel case in a compact size of 41 millimetres and is available with a blue or gr...  

These should do well...

Composition of dial is improved. Size more wearable. Yes.... IWC continues to reconstitute the same old stuff... but in this case, the same old stuff is the stuff that makes them IWC... shrug... at right price, (pre-owned 40% off msrp) why not. Green is c... 

Well, for one thing the Daytona has 72 hours of PR... 😂

Versus 46 for the IWC.

I know, just kidding but many people brag about longer PR

Which to me is not as relevant in an automatic watch.

The current movement is a 7750 clone

with not much improvements... created to combat the ETA shortage... if I am wrong let me know... ?

Yes, that is correct.

The 7750 doesn’t have many of the technical features that this IWC movement has, so I struggle to see why the IWC movement can be called a clone.

Since there seems to be little information about how the new IWC movement compares to the 7750 it would be interesting for me to understand. I was under the impression that this movement is IWC’s own development. If that’s not true I think it might be int... 

Unless I am wrong...

It's a non-progressive 'clone', it could have been a major advancement but was not. The PR is 'lazy' by current standards. Now remember, this is a very recent 'new' movement. Not 15 yrs ago. IWC did not innovate. IWC did not even improve the clone. Except... 

That's one way to look at it but you have to give credit to IWC for what they have done to the 7750 ébauche successfully over the past several decades

Many still consider those as unmatched by any other manufacturer or watchmaker. And, if their new movements are anything like those, they'll have a winner on their hands.

They look amazing!
