Column wheel control ensures that individual phases in the switching sequence are clearly defined. Seamless integration with the basic movement and careful coordination of all components help to ensure that the correct rates are maintained even when the chronograph is subject to highly intensive use. IWC-manufactured 69000 calibre: IWC developed this calibre with an uncompromising focus on robustness, reliability and longevity. Known as a “monopusher” chronograph, this construction boasts remarkable technical refinement and allows for a more discreet, unobtrusive chronograph design. In modern watches, it usually comprises indications for the elapsed minutes and hours, in addition to the seconds. By contrast, the hand-wound IWC-manufactured 59360 calibre uses a single push-button integrated into the crown to start, stop and reset the chronograph. A chronograph is an instrument where an independent sweep seconds hand can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the pushers (or anything that can actuate the chronograph mechanism). IWC-manufactured 59360 calibre: In a conventional chronograph, two push buttons at 2 and 4 o’clock control the stopwatch functions. Therefore, movements from this calibre family are ideal for combining a chronograph function with other complications like a perpetual calendar. This feature makes reading the stop time particularly easy and leaves room for additional displays on the dial. IWC-manufactured 89000 calibre: The movements from this calibre family display the stopped hours and minutes combined in a totalizer at 12 o’clock. Three IWC-manufactured chronograph movements underscore the company’s comprehensive expertise in developing mechanical stopwatches. We never compromise on quality: To produce chronographs to the highest possible standards of quality and technical excellence, we continually push forward with new materials, industry-leading manufacturing processes, testing standards and quality management. While significantly enhancing legibility, it has become a distinctive design element that sets our chronographs apart. This uncompromisingly functional design approach has led to the typical vertical dial layout. We never compromise on functionality: At IWC, function always comes first. With the most recent of these, the IWC-manufactured 69000 calibre, our focus was unwaveringly on robustness, reliability and durability. We never compromise on performance: Three unique IWC-manufactured movements underline our high level of expertise in developing mechanical stopwatches. Four new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronographs are being released for the collections 30th anniversary, which saw its first model presented in 1993. What sets IWC apart is an uncompromising approach to performance, functionality and quality. For over 40 years, this legacy has spurred us on to develop chronographs that are among the best in the industry. IWC’s heritage is deeply rooted in professional watches typified by their robustness and high precision.
