I like the fact that it has top grade Sellita movement inside. Easy and cheap to service. Reliable and durable at the same time.
Ended up getting this beautiful piece into my collection last month!
Do you like it, I have the black dial and love it.
Very well done review. However, if I am in an explosive decompression situation, my watch is the last of my concerns unless I need to know what time it is as I am sucked out of the plane with a glass of Champaign in hand.
Received this watch tonight as a gift. Absolutely awesome! My wrist is about 7 inches. It’s a total beauty!!!
I also 7 inch, 173cm, 86kg.. i think a bit too small. But im in love with this watch. Dont know should i buy or not haha
I bought this watch 2 years ago and love it. Unfortunately there have been two incidents where I had to hand the watch back to IWC for repairs that one would assume would be covered under the warranty. Unfortunately the IWC customer service does not seem to value their customers and instead charges over 800 CHF both times to get the watch serviced claiming it has had outside damage to it. My only conclusion is that this product is not of the quality you would expect when you paying over 5K for a watch and the customer service is non existent. Will unfortunately never buy an IWC watch again and would recommend you to consider a different brand.
Kristoffer Johansson thanks for that- was eyeing this up Vs explorer as a 40th birthday watch but having previously had great customer service from Rolex and hearing this it’s helped make my decision 👍🏼👍🏼
thank you for this comment, I really value customer service, especially at this level, I was undecided between IWC and Ulysse Nardin, I definitely know what to choose now.
My brother used to work for aftersales from an Iwc importer. They are nice watches but not very durable. More often than not they break down on people.
What the hell. And my 40 year old seiko diver is still swimmable. I have always aspired for this watch. Now you’ve given me second thoughts.
I don't know how much weight I can give to one randoms guys story on the internet but it's an interesting story nonetheless
Best reviews available on RUclips! Thank you
Thanks Rodrigo you're too kind!
Stay tuned for more!

Agreed!
So if my plane depressurizes I’m cooked but the Little Prince lives on
I thought the same. In fairness it’s a cracking watch and your next of kin will have something to remember you by
Thanks for the review. Beautiful watch, I recently acquired one for myself and am enjoying it very much. I have just one caveat for those with larger wrists. On my 7 3/4" wrist I have to use the last adjustment hole in strap, and the end of the strap will barely tuck into the first loop. That's the only issue I've encountered, otherwise I'm in love with this piece (and I have a custom strap on order).
Beautiful watch, thanks for sharing. On a "funny" side note. If you're experiencing an explosive decompression on a plane, the last thing you'll be worried about is time😂
But a cool feature nontheless.
Classically beautiful.
I love this watch but 51mm lug to lug is nuts for a 40mm case size.
Indeed if they only change that i would buy it (and inhouse movement like the spitfire!)
It is long but this watch gets away with it, it's quite flat on the wrist, imo it's one of the best watches, it's very simple like the explorer and just gets better the longer you have it, not many watches have this quality.
When I got this, I didn’t think much of it. Then I read le petit prince . Now I’m disappointed that there wasn’t a brighter lume that would have reflected this character with the watch so much better rather than just a nice engraving.
This video is perfect. Straight to the point and all information you need. Thank you. I just picked on up
Simple, clean and legible!
I love that watch. I was going to get one. I tried one on, and it wore bigger than my Sub. Decided not to get it. It wears bigger than a 42mm Omega Speedmaster Pro on a leather strap.
That's what puts me off- well the movement at the price is not ideal either but if it had a smaller lug to lug I could probably ignore that
maybe longer but not bigger - it's a very slim watch at 11mm
Very beutiful 😍
Very clean.... 🤔 Next!!!!
Lume is lacking on these except for the titanium Heritage model. Still nice.
Nick Capretta Wrong. It is stellar in the dark.
@@bw162 photo please!
@@bw162 it would be nice to prove it straight with a photo.
You had me at Selitta a 100 buck movement. Like buying a Porsche with a 1.4L Ford Fiesta engine. Sure it will tick forever but you know what’s hiding under that pretty face. The misplaced date showcasing the too small movement. A swimnable watch yes, should you wish to destroy the leather strap. It’s a shame as this watch nearly gets the green light then fails. The ask is just too high for ‘entry level’ IWC.
It's nice but it's spendy when new
T Johnson yeah but I recall you could get a Rolex in a bracelet for less?
@@KRBY555 no way! 5k for a new iwc
Would choose an OP39, Globemaster or Grand Seiko at that price. Shame as it's a really nice looking watch but the movement:price and long lug to lug turn me off
a sellita?!
I have to say that I think Oris Big crown big date is better watch
and some people think the earth is flat
How is it better?
I think the new 40mm Alpina Startimer Pilot is the petit prince killer
Competitor* not killer
