For 2017, IWC updated its Da Vinci collection with a new round case, and it has been quite warmly received. It might look a tad ornate, but I quite like the new case design. One of the most complicated watches in the Da Vinci collection is the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, which, as you might have guessed, combines the perpetual calendar complication with a chronograph. One of the highlights of this watch for me is the hour and minute totalizer at 12 o’clock, which also combines a moon phase indicator against an exquisite backdrop of stars.
The 2017 IWC Da Vinci is a back to basic watch: round case, articulated lugs, use of traditional complication and display, still a bit of that baroque / Italian flair that has always been in the DNA of that watch… If you have a good memory, all these elements indeed recall the 1985 edition, and IWC doesn’t hide this. Instead, they even refer to it and to the people behind this iconic collection (Kurt Klaus or Günter Blümlein). The Da Vinci has always been a rather difficult collection, especially compared to other watches such as the Portugeiser or the Pilot’s Watches, and thus, by bringing back on the table some known design codes, IWC could be blamed about a lack of originality but could also show a wish to make the Da Vinci great again.
The movement in this particular example was working, but unfinished so we’ve omitted images of the caseback; more representative finishing images will be coming soon.
It wears big, but not uncomfortably, and though the diameter is as generous as the thickness, IWC’s done a good job making use of the real estate.
The price is markedly lower for the steel model than the gold model; $29,900, vs. $40,200 for the gold version.
