The IWC Da Vinci was the world's first automatic chronograph with perpetual calendar and a four-digit annual display. With its perpetual calendar through to the year 2499, the Da Vinci is a lasting value in times of change - it knows every leap year, every full moon, every date change of the next 500 years.
Instantly recognizable due to the distinctive bold case, stepped bezel, mushroom headed buttons and the eye-catching bracelet with articulated lugs, this timepiece achieved cult status long ago. The steel model with black dial and contrasting, bright accents is particularly attractive, as it lends the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph an interesting sportive appeal.
