Its complication models had notably enabled the Schaffhausen-based brand to make the most of the huge watch boom in the late 1990s. The<strong> Da Vinci<\/strong> collection was notably able to build on a brand-new perpetual calendar, developed by <strong>IWC<\/strong>, which featured two unique characteristics : a four-digit display of the year, as well as pre-synchronized operation. A single press on a corrector moves forward the entire set of indications linked to the date. This perpetual calendar has been constantly improved and therefore logically takes its place in the new generation of <strong>Da Vinci<\/strong> timepieces, complete with the rearrangements required by its cohabitation here with a flyback chronograph. An elegant watch featuring a number of meticulously refined details, the <strong>Da Vinci<\/strong> is distinguished by its articulated lugs ensuring a smooth fit on the wrist. It is fitted with a large crown, along with notched pushers in the case of this perpetual calendar chronograph. With this stainless steel model powered by an entirely in-house-made movement,<strong> IWC<\/strong> is wagering on its four key assets. Relatively affordable, singularly complicated and rooted in a prestigious past, it also epitomizes authentic elegance with its multi-textured slate gray dial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.worldtempus.com\/watch-brand\/iwc-123\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"edgtf-btn edgtf-btn-medium edgtf-btn-outline\"  >\n    <span class=\"edgtf-btn-text\">More on IWC watch brand<\/span>\n    <i class=\"edgtf-icon-font-awesome fa  edgtf-btn-icon-element\" ><\/i><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Da Vinci watches hold a special place in the recent history of IWC.
