I have searched the internet for info regarding the IWC movement 30750 that you find (as I know) only in the IWC Pilot’s Watch Worldtimer (Ref. 326201).
There are no drawings or explanation anywhere to understand this movement and the parts behind the functions it have.
Can someone advise me with a page or a place to lock, maybe also someone owns one that knows more about the movement?
(I know that I maybe can ask a retailer, but don’t want to disturb them with that)
The Worldtimer movement is a slight variant of IWC Caliber 37526, which is what powers the UTC. Sometime ago IWC asked that I not publish schematic drawings since they are proprietary, but the idea is the same as the UTC (a circumference disc is driven here by the module rather than an hour disc).
Some info on the UTC module: www.gregsteer.net/IWC/UTC/UTC_Pilot.html
Pages 36-37 of the new 2013-14 watches catalog have some detail, but perhaps not to the level of detail you are looking for. A PDF is available inside IWC Library under IWC Shaffhausen top left corner of this website.

Hi,
Thank you all for the comments!
There is some grate sides out there, and I can see that IWC have a lot of info around, if you only know where to look.
I hope to buy a second hand of this witch if we can agree on the pricing, but it seems as it will turn out fine now :-)
Thanks a gene, have a great weekend…

The same example is mentioned at page 34 of the 2014/15 catalogue, now to be seen as PDF at the same place. There is a mistake in both examples. Is says it shows 11 a.m. daylight saving time in Sydney, this must be 12 a.m. below the dot at the right of Sydney. The 11 a.m. is right for the standard time, below the dot right below Sydney. The indication of the "extra dot" for daylight saving time, which in effect is the same dot for the next time zone, is quite handy.
To be sure, you don't need to adjust anything on the 24-hour ring, ever, whether you are travelling east-west or west-east, or when you change to daylight saving time or back to standard time, this all is handled by moving the hour hand in position one of the crown. This sounds mysterious maybe, but this is the great simple part of the Worldtimer when you have to handle it.
Kind regards,
Paul
