ubiquitous Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 IWC's released a new line of retro inspired pieces to commemorate their vintage pieces/heritage. The majority can be found on their website; of those pieces being released, these are amongst my favorites... 'Vintage' style Aquatimer 'Vintage' style Portofino Typically, I'm not much of an IWC kind of guy, but these are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't feeling the Da Vinci, but after seeing this pic, I feel I may need to readjust my opinion on it And I'm very much so loving the Aquatimer...

Oddly enough, the pilot is the weakest. It looks like a cheap eBay wannabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 My favorites - and yes, I never gave much thought to the Da Vinci but these are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Oddly enough, the pilot is the weakest. It looks like a cheap eBay wannabe. Really? Here is the original Mark IX from 1936 New vintage line: I think they did a good job in keeping the spirit of the original watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopzilla Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for posting - with IWC - there should be something for all tastes and all occasions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think they did a good job in keeping the spirit of the original watch... It doesn't help that the 1930s original wasn't that inspired. Of all the vintage range, this one is the least inspired. It's a plain copy of what was not IWC's high-point of design.

JWR Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Is anyone else seeing the Portuguese and Pilot as being eminently reppable? They both use the Jones movement... just a case of doing the cases, dials, (and in the pilot's case, the bezel with internal 'tooth' of lume) I would buy one of the portuguese in a second, if it were done well with proper double AR and so on.

It's a plain copy of what was not IWC's high-point of design. Either way...I still like it and would give b16a2's arm to buy it. Heck...I would give his 2 legs for it as well...it has a classier feel to it than the St. Exupery (I'm not a big fan of the brown dial, but I like the contrasting fonts in the original Mark IX).
