I mentioned the ’90s Da Vinci model that is also very much a classic look for a dress watch, and the new-for-2017 IWC Da Vinci Automatic watches revive some elements of its look. The new models have a high-polish case wrapping around the dial,with leaf-shaped hands that are finished in the same tone that the polished numerals on the dial have. I find myself preferring the slate dial, but I do rather like the blued seconds hand on the silver dial, as itâ€s a nice bit of color.

The “female target group as main focus of interest” at IWC with the Da Vinci collection this year, this 40mm IWC Da Vinci Automatic replica watch is released alongside the 36mm IWC Da Vinci Automatic 36 watch. The model we are covering in this article is 40mm wide and 10mm thin, with a 30m water-resistance. Large enough for him, small enough for her, I suppose. The automatic IWC 35111 movement inside is a base Sellita SW300-1 with 42 hours of power reserve operating at 4Hz (28,800bph).

One other thing that may not be immediately apparent about the IWC Da Vinci Automatic is the fact that the lugs are articulating, or hinged. Basically, that means that you should get a very comfortable fit on your wrist, even if your wrists are on the smaller side.Iâ€ve experienced this type of lug on other watches, and it does make for a better fit – at 40mm, of course, there will be no worries about “lug overhang” anyway.

As for the overall look of the IWC Da Vinci Automatic, itâ€s cohesive, and itâ€s a solid, classic look. Then again, it also reminds me somewhat of a certain Timex design. This is not to disparage either brand, but the numerals do evoke that association. Naturally, if you had the IWC Da Vinci Automatic and a Weekender next to each other, youâ€d have no trouble telling them apart, both in weight and build quality. In terms of the overall aesthetic of the IWC Da Vinci Automatic, though, it is not putting grail visions in my head.
It does put a question in my mind, though – what designer thought that this was the right positioning to put the date window in? Itâ€s simply jarring. Not that itâ€s at 6 oâ€clock, but the fact that it does not follow with the circle that the numeral indices are creating. Even if they had aligned the top edge of the date window with the line drawn from the tops of the 7 and the 5, I could maybe let it slide. But this… this does not look to me like the refinement I expect of a luxury watch. It causes it to look like a case that was fitted with too small of a movement, resulting in the date window being too far inward.https://www.watchesyoga.com

While I am certainly a fan of classic dress watches, and I do feel that IWC has had some interesting designs, for my personal tastes the new IWC Da Vinci Automatic leaves me a bit ambivilent. Who knows, perhaps that date window position is something carried over from another vintage reference, but that is a detail that should have perhaps been redone.
