IWC GST Alarm. At the pinnacle of IWC in 90s.
This particular piece is one example.
Integrated bracelet with fully adjustable links. Sandblasted titanium grade 2. Alarm function with blackened hand to make the red tip "floating". Black date windows for uninterrupted symmetry. Crisp, ultra legible hands and markers. Oversized crowns with sharp knurling for easy manipulation. Very unusual 50 meter WR with screwed down crown.
Function over form, seamlessly cool.
They don't make piece like this anymore.

Agree with all the accolades that you’ve mentioned.
Gorgeous. An haute-horology Sinn, if that makes sense
oh that's exactly right
IWC did have a Sinn ethos at that point, at a higher price/quality level. No wonder we watch enthusiasts miss them!
Yes
Sinn 356=IWC pilot 3706 Sinn 556=IWC pilot mark XV /XVI Sinn 144=IWC GST chronograph titanium
Yes except the 144
The 144=the Porsche Design Orfina Chronograph And while we're at it, the 903=Breitling Navitimer, the 103=Breguet Type XX of the 60's-70s, 156=Heuer Bund. Sinn makes a lot of tribute watches!
I have bought and sold this watch twice and often
Consider buying it again. I love the lightness of the case and the alarm mechanism. I also liked the clean lines of the dial and the easy legibility. I did not like the thickness and always thought the lack of a bezel and finishing detail was not of my ta...
The thickness ia actually reasonable considering the alarm function. There is no thin alarm watch because it need space for echo.
The real problem with this watch is the rigid end link which makes the lug to lug whopping 54 mm eventhough the diameter only 40 mm. And yes the lack of bezel makes the dial so big that it looks like a 42 mm watch.
