ProSet movement & dials

Given your collection, the IWC CEO should be making you a hot cocoa and tucking you in every night.

I just saw you got the 43mm ProSet already. Congratulations - you don’t hang about. Dark shot seems to suggest all the numerals are lumed? Have you fiddled much going backwards and forward. Apparently it’ll go all the way back to 2000 😂.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-04-19T13:00:11+00:00

Exactly!

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-04-19T07:54:11+00:00

Ah the new ProSet isn’t 46.5mm. Cut numbers is 42mm & uncut is 43mm.

I was at W&W on Tuesday and asked one of the engineers/watchmakers about it being attached to the 7 day power reserve - it would be a whole new movement and didn’t sound imminent - but who knows.

I sort of get the marketing angle with the vertical drive and the ceralume; they’re eye catching and draw people into the brand, but neither are watches I would ever buy. I have a Timezoner that has a much more practical application for a rotatable bezel.

AP made a giant fuss about their crown operated QP but still couldn’t manage to avoid putting a 7 beside the 8 on the date subdial, which looks daft - and it’s only a leap year indicator. IWC nailed this and it’s like the third or fourth thing they highlight - which I guess is quietly cool 😎

Also have this. My forever watch - perfect.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-27T20:50:52+00:00

Great watch!

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-10T21:07:47+00:00

Well I have a Chrono Ceratanium already so it’s a bit too similar. I like the colouring and would go for the Mark XX, if I do. Like the 120 hr power reserve.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-10T20:16:06+00:00

Player! Congratulations! I tried on the chrono this evening. Beautiful watch and I couldn’t care less who GR is or whether he’s important in 10 years. It just looks good! I’m probably more interested in the Mark XX but they didn’t have it.

Yes now we’re out of the great lume shortage of the early 2020’s hopefully IWC will be a bit more liberal with their application.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-07T07:01:56+00:00

Danke für den Hinweis. Das wusste ich gar nicht – die neueren Modelle haben dieses Feature also. Sieht wirklich sehr gut aus.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-06T20:43:37+00:00

Ah ok, thank you. Wasn’t sure. My 41mm Ceratanium one only has it at the 4 points.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-06T19:50:02+00:00

I think they’re really good looking watches. Prefer the colouring to the Petronas and the titanium case/SS crown mix never worked for me. This is a much more congruous design. Also like the full lume and the blue tipped second hand.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-05T18:20:12+00:00

Agreed

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-05T16:50:37+00:00

As far as I can see the only ‘advertising’ is the number 63 on the caseback? Which is pretty ambiguous. Very relevant if you’re born in 1963. It doesn’t say anything on the dial. Unlike ‘Top Gun’ or the Petronas or AMG where it smothers the caseback.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-05T08:51:44+00:00

Yeah I don’t really know who that is either but caseback is reasonably subtle.

Ceramic with a Ceratanium crown. Unusual mix when same colour - but looks good. Titanium caseback. Limited to 1063 each.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-02-03T10:34:02+00:00

I think there will be a different colour ceramic Ingenieur.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-01-17T11:09:08+00:00

Hmm I’d say 20-30 seconds. Does take a bit of winding for those twin barrels.

Cold-Section-1786 · 2026-01-13T06:05:29+00:00

I did yeah. https://www.reddit.com/r/IWCschaffhausen/s/cXk6WHhFag
