IWC Schaffhausen introduces its 150 years special edition for the festive season.
Da Vinci Automatic Moon Phase 36 Edition
The Da Vinci Automatic Moon Phase 36 Edition “150 Years” takes up the tradition of elaborately decorated jewellery watches. This was a style the company cultivated towards the end of the 1980s and during the 1990s with models like the diamond-set Lady Da Vinci in yellow gold, Reference IW8435. Two limited-edition models are available, each restricted to 50 watches:
– 18-carat white gold, white dial with lacquered finish, blued hands
– 18-carat red gold, white dial with lacquered finish, blued hands
Both timepieces have a moon phase display at “12 o’clock”. The watches’ case and moving lugs are paved with 206 pure white diamonds amounting to 2.26 carats.

The movement is visible through the sapphire-glass back.
