NEW RETRO 
POWER RESERVE

The second reveals a new complication. Here again, the daring approach lies not in the power reserve itself, but in its original stage-setting. The New Retro is elegantly and soberly paired with this ‘form’ movement specifically developed to equip its rectangular case. The in-line calibre is naturally skeletonised so as to reveal the exquisite delicacy of its finishing.

This sophisticated mechanism can be admired through the openworking, held by stylised anthracite rhodium-plated bridges with a structure subtly reminiscent of the radiator grilles on vintage cars. From the circular satin-brushed gear train to the sunburst ratchet wheel and the sandblasted mainplate and bridges, ultimate refinement is visible in each and every detail. The New Retro Power Reserve reveals its 48-hour power-reserve gauge at 12 o’clock. Available in pink or white gold versions fitted with an alligator leather strap, it will keep both wearers and observers mesmerised by every detail of its fascinating movement.

NEW RETRO, a watch collection that honours the past while creating the future. Exuding a subtle blend of modern touches and a vintage feel, this is a watch composed of tradition and vision. An alliance between opposites. The clean-cut, simple lines of a wide rectangular-shaped case, balanced by gently curving rounded angles.

A minimalist watch whose complexity lies in its construction, its case composed of two perfectly matching domed sapphire crystals, bound by a slender gold ribbon. A watch with peerless allure. Initially introduced in a soberly elegant two-hand version, it has since been adorned with snow-setting and then with baguette-cut gems.

Its rectangular silhouette is interpreted in a large-sized 50.6 mm x 44.1 mm format, as well as a more androgynous 42.3 mm x 39.6 mm variation.

The 69000 calibre family, first introduced in 2016, constitutes one of the most important developments in IWC-manufactured movements in IWC’s early history. Now, for the first time, IWC has incorporated a member of this calibre family into its Pilot’s Watches.

The 69380 IWC-manufactured calibre is a robust, reliable and high-precision chronograph movement with a classic column wheel design. The stopped hours and minutes are displayed on the two subdials at “9 o’clock” and “12 o’clock”. It also features a date and day display. The pawl-winding system, which winds up on both sides, boasts a power reserve of 46 hours.

The bronze case, the olive green dial and the brown calf leather strap give this chronograph a unique character. Over time, the bronze develops a special patina, making each and every watch a unique piece.
