Additional Information
In 1986, for the first time ever, IWC unveiled a Da Vinci in a ceramic case. The Da Vinci Chronograph Ceramic presented in 2010, combines zirconium oxide, which is extremely scratch-resistant, non-magnetic and acid-proof, with grade 5 titanium, a material that has proven its worth in aircraft manufacture, amongst other things. Apart from the striking bezel, other parts machined from titanium are the case back, the crown and the buttons. For the first time ever, the titanium is satin-finished and polished, giving the watch its luxurious appearance and smooth, silky feel. The inside of the case likewise features various innovations. In another first for IWC, the movement mounting and the seats for the operating parts are machined directly into the ceramic casing ring. The chronograph push-buttons are fitted with wear-resistant pushpins, likewise made of ceramic. Also new for IWC is the extravagant design of the dial, which has assumed an attractive, three-dimensional quality. The réhaut volant, a tonneau-shaped minute display, appears to hover above the dial, while the stopwatch hand partially glides below it. This floating chapter ring assumes the same convex shape as the sapphire glass, making the inner surface of the bezel appear flatter. The watch's overall appearance is complemented by a specially treated calfskin strap whose surface structure is reminiscent of a high-tech fabric. The flyback chronograph combines the hour and minute counters in a single totalizer.

We sell luxury timepieces at considerably lower prices than the manufacturers list price. Gemnation is not
an Authorized IWC Watch Dealer and is not affiliated with IWC. Authorized dealers are not permitted
to discount or sell watches on the Internet. For this reason, we choose not to be authorized watch dealers
for many of the brands that we sell.
Since we are not authorized dealers for many of the watch manufacturers, we may be unable to ship the original
