The IWC caliber 79420 automatic movement, based on the ETA 7750, operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 44-hour power reserve. The rattrapante function allows for simultaneous timing of multiple events, making it an aviation enthusiast's dream. This limited edition model features a high-quality leather strap, adding to its overall elegance and comfort. With a water resistance rating of 60 meters, the IW3718-08 is perfect for day-to-day activities but not suitable for diving. At $12,400, this luxury chronograph is an investment in a piece of history and engineering excellence.
