Thanks for the news!

An instant classic I'd say.

I'm probably late but I still don't know if the new line hosts a Sellita derivated movement.

Roberto, consensus out there seems to indicate this - some say "Beating inside this beautiful watch, is the well-known IWC Caliber 35110 automatic movement, which, to my knowledge, is based on the Sellita SW300 self-winding ebauche."

MF - can you confirm?

Indeed a very nice simple and stylish model unlike the Pam 366 with the "fu" word. IMO.

Nice looking watch this one.

This special edition would make a good "book end" with my white dial RG Portofino. I love the dial color...nice watch!

Thank you my friend!

8541 --I can confirm. If it were an ETA 2892, the calibre would be 30110.

Interesting: the case is that of the old 39 mm 3563, not the new 40 mm 3565, the same goes for the dial. But apparently IWC put in the new Sellita movement of the 3565. For a special limited edition this is really special, where most of the time a different colour combination makes all the difference.

Kind regards,
Paul
