An Unsung Hero from 2006 (378601)
By: India Whiskey Charlie : February 23rd, 2020-16:10
IWC introduced their first Ceramic Doppelchrono in 2006 (limited edition of 1000). It was 44 mm and came with the original Doppel's calibre 79230. It was not well received because reviews of fragile ceramic cases were abound. Of course, a year later, IWC ...

Badass watch
