The date change also happens at an acceptable 2 minutes after midnight. The Santoni strap really feels comfortable out of the box and thick to accommodate the heavy watch. Quality wise, I found no faults in the watch in my time of ownership that you can scrutinise IWC for. Eventually it will become second nature or better yet, just wear the watch. This issue happens in a lot of watches, but the 7750 is known to easily break from this. The safe option is to set the time at 6 so it can either be 6pm or 6am prior to using the quick set. In most cases, it’s between 8pm to 4am or 4 hours before and after the date changes. Like most 7750 and its variants, this will suffer from the quick date change problem that you can’t use the quick set date between certain time periods. I wore this almost everyday and never had any problems with its daily usage except for its weight. As this was my first luxury timepiece, it will always have a place as one of the watches I enjoyed. Specs are given to ETA to make the movements and gets sent to IWC almost finished from what I’ve read A lot would argue that it’s not a true IWC Caliber and that IWC is charging premium over a valjoux 7750, but IWC has always noted that it’s “heavily modified”. This is a modified Valjoux 7750 and has always been the go to base movement for most chronograph. The IWC3777-14 is powered by an IWC caliber 79320. However, when it’s due for servicing, you can have it changed if the outer coating has diminished. Sapphire crystal is coated with anti-reflective coating on both sides, but I would be wary of the outer coating diminishing overtime. Moreover, this is 15.5mm in thickness making this a very chunky watch. It may look and sound small in today’s standard, but the thinner bezel makes this big.
IWC has been known to be a partner of the Fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an organisation devoted to helping children of disadvantageous circumstances. However, that’s not the only reason why IWC partners with them.
As the narrator is a pilot, it’s only fitting that IWC’s pilot range be the watch to have that privilege. Le Petit Prince / Little Prince has been known to be the standard limited edition of IWC. I started my watch collecting journey with the latter as I landed a better job and decided to buy a timepiece that I’ve casually kept my eye on, the IWC Pilot’s Chronograph Le Petit Prince. It can either be a watch that was given to them by their parents, one that was handed down by great grand parents, or just a watch that one bought for achieving a milestone. There are watches that a person starts with in their journey.
