IWC Da Vinci Chronograph

  The new Da Vinci chronos, released by IWC this year, are scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth.  I only know of a few that have reached the US, and most dealers haven’t even received one yet.  When I was in Zurich, only one shop had one, and even the IWC Boutiques in Zurich and in Schaffhausen (next door to the IWC factory) had none!

I’ll probably think I’ve lost my mind when this one leaves the house.  But if I’m going to fund a Da Vinci Perpetual plus an expensive Rolex, some tough decisions need to be made.

The massive SS case is approx 43mm x 51mm yet with a slightly curved back is extremely comfortable on the wrist.   The case holds a horologically significant in-house flyback chrono caliber 89360 which locates both hour and minute counters on same subdial, where they are read the same as the main hands on the watch!   The thick, hefty strap is anchored with the renowned IWC deployant.

The watch is in Near Mint condition with all boxes and papers, plus warranty stamped by US Authorized Dealer.
