The Watch
.
In today's very busy Watch market, you can probably count on one hand who does it better than IWC and this is on show here in the reference IW5001-07.
.
The IW5001, was first introduced in 2004 and, outside of dial and hand variation, has remained relatively unchanged ever since. As a result, the two sub-dials at three and nine o'clock, the 42mm case diameter, and the clean overall design have become calling cards of not only the Portuguese model line but the entire IWC brand. Boasting 7 days of power reserve when fully wound, the IW5001-07 shows it off with the three o'clock power reserve indicator sub-dial. These pieces wear beautifully.
.
The 42mm Steel Case has an exhibition caseback which, rightfully, shows off the beautiful 18ct Gold rotor calibre 51011 movement. It's pretty clear we have a lot of love for this future classic.

This guy comes with its complete full set and Black leather box.
