    This C.7912 drives a PD by IWC ref. 3704, based on ETA 7750.

    The last and rarest variant of the PD by IWC Titanchrono got a beautiful movement.

    A current addition to my PD by IWC collection.

    Hi Heiko,

    Cool pictures (as always)! I totally agree, seems that this is a gold rotor or not?

    I guess the company was then ran by engineers, taking the best technical solutions. Otherwise who would do this for a diver ;-)

    Groeten,

    Bob

    Thanks Bob.

    many parts of the movement are gold plated, but the rotor does not have a massiv gold segment.

    As far as I know, only some Ing. models like the 500.000 A/m with ETA based movements have rotors with massiv gold segmets.

    Beste Grüße

    Heiko

    Thanks Marian.

    It always depends of the light and a lens with low dispersion :-)

    Greetings

    Hi Heiko,
    The Titan PD Chrono looks so great while in fact it is decades old. Besides the gold finished movement the nearly visible "chrono pushers" are of a superb design. Just timeless.
    Thanks for posting,
    Adrian,
