In addition to the striking bezel, all other parts of a watch Da Vinci Chronograph Ceramic made of titanium, including crown, buttons and back cover. For the first time it has a satiny texture of titanium and polished, giving the opportunity to enjoy its luxurious look and feel smooth, silky surface. Inside the case as there was a place different "high" innovation. For the first time among engineering solutions in the basic mechanism of IWC and accessories are mounted directly to the hours of a ceramic ring case.
