IWC Da Vinci replica watches: Two new editions join the automatic collection

Some watch collections are legendary by design, with brands doing everything in their power to push the message. Others, like the IWC Da Vinci Replica collection sort of stumble into the status, sometimes years after the saga began.

One is a 36mm time-and-date automatic and the other is also 36mm, without date but with a moon phase indication in addition. The moon phase model will put you in mind immediately of the IWC Replica Watches Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37, which is one mm larger. Indeed, the calibre here is the same calibre 35800.

As far as look and feel go though, the new Edition IWC Copy Watches are unabashed throwbacks to the 1980s, with larger bezels, discreetly recessed inner dials, swiveling or articulated lugs, bulbous crowns, slim lance-shaped hands, Arabic numerals, and silver-plated dials.

There are a variety of different iterations on just these basic novelties, AAA IWC Replica including plain stainless steel, diamond-set stainless steel and 18k red gold. In addition, the Automatic 36 is also available with a steel bracelet and an 18k red gold bracelet.

Novelty watches for him: IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Replica Edition

Sometimes, new watches fit the novelty bill to a tee, as in the case of the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Replica“Sharks”. Surely, offering a watch as part of a package with a book, all presented in a bite-proof metal shark cage, must count as novel!

Obviously, the Chronograph Edition “Sharks” is the same Aquatimer we looked at a couple of years ago, with some tweaks. The IWC Replica Watches features a hammerhead shark engraving on the solid case back. We’ll revisit some of the other details in a bit.

IWC Replica describes his work here as having “an unprecedented degree of technical perfection”, which probably explains why the Schaffhausen-based watchmaker was drawn to him.

Aside from the engraving on the case back, the grey dial is meant to evoke the distinctive colouring of many shark species. In terms of hands, hour markers, numerals, functions, and movement, this edition is the same as the standard Limited Edition IWC Copy Aquatimer Chronograph.
