IWC Da Vinci Replica Heritage Avigation Watch Type A-7 - A Different View of the Watch
IWC Da Vinci Replica, a Saint-Imier-based watchmaker, is well-known for its strong connections to aviation and the pioneers. IWC Da Vinci Replica' strong ties with flying are again highlighted in its latest model, the Avigation Watch Type A-7. This column wheel chronograph is inspired by classic 1930s models and features an unusual design with an angled face. This dial layout is not a result of an aviation tradition.IWC Da Vinci Replica
This particular appearance is due to the fact that these types of chronographs were designed to be worn on the inside wrist. The dial would be at 50 degrees to its right, so the pilot could read the information without having to take his hand off the controls.
The Heritage series of IWC Da Vinci Replica Watches has other characteristics that are influenced from its aviation origin. Its large diameter of 49mm enhances readability, while the large white Arabic numerals stand out against the matte black dial. The large fluted crown, which was easy to use even with thick gloves of pilots of the time, is another characteristic of the same type. Avigation Watch Type A-7 also features a chrono function. It is controlled entirely by one push-piece, which can be used to stop, start and reset to zero. This push-piece is located on the crown, above the 12 o’clock position on its tilted face.
