====== IWC 3752 ====== Calibre **3752** is an [[automatic]] watch movement from [[IWC]] produced from the 1980s through the 2000s and is based on the [[ETA 2892]]. ===== History ===== Beginning in [[1950]], IWC produced automatic watch movements featuring their patented [[Pellaton]] winding system. This series of movements, starting with [[IWC 81|Cal. 81]], was well-respected and produced in large numbers. But like other companies, IWC was unable to invest in a new movement generation in the face of the [[quartz crisis]]. So IWC's Pellaton movements ended production around [[1975]] with the [[IWC 854|Cal. 854]]. IWC then turned to other companies to supply movements. High-end watches were fitted with the refined and thin [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] movement [[JLC 889|Cal. 889]], now known as [[IWC 3254|IWC Cal. 3254]]. The remainder of IWC's automatic watches used [[IWC 375|Cal. 375]], which was based on the [[Eterna]]-designed [[ETA 2892]]. As the industry rebounded and ETA introduced the improved [[ETA 2892-2]], IWC followed with their **Cal. 3752** family. When ETA released the [[ETA 2892A2]] in [[1998]], IWC began adopting it, starting with [[IWC 30110|Cal. 30110]]. This family replaced the 2892-2 movements within a decade. ===== Movement Family ===== * IWC 3752 (1983-) - 11.5 ligne, based on [[ETA 2892-2]] * [[Porsche Design SL 3517]] * IWC 37521 (1990-) * [[Porsche Design Diver 3500]] * [[Porsche Design Diver 3504]] * [[IWC Bundeswehr 3509]] * [[IWC Portofino 3513]] (1980s-1999) * [[IWC Portofino 3514]] (1990-1996) * [[Porsche Design Diver 3524]] * [[IWC Bundeswehr 3529]] * [[IWC Portofino Moonphase 3550]] * [[IWC Portofino 9251]] (1989-2002) * [[IWC Portofino 9261]] (-1988) * IWC 37522 - Lower hands * [[IWC Pilot's Watch 3242]] Saab, Latuad, Fontan (1997) * [[Porsche Design Diver 3502]] * [[Porsche Design Diver 3503]] * [[Porsche Design Diver 3523]] * IWC 37523 - Antimagnetic * [[Porsche Design Compass 3511]] * IWC 37524 - Lower hands * [[IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XV|IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XV, Ref. 3253]] (1999) * [[Porsche Design 3520]] * [[IWC Da Vinci SL 3528]] (1998-2002) * [[IWC GST Aquatimer 3536]] (1998-2003) * [[IWC Da Vinci SL 9268]] (1998-2002) * 37526 - [[Second timezone]] * [[IWC Pilot's Watch UTC|IWC Pilot's Watch UTC, Ref. 3251]] (1999-2010) * 3753 * [[IWC Ingenieur 3506|IWC Ingenieur SL, Ref. 3506]] (1985-1989) * [[IWC Ingenieur 3515|IWC Ingenieur SL, Ref. 3515]] (1983-1985) * [[IWC Ingenieur 3516|IWC Ingenieur SL, Ref. 3516]] (1985-1989) * [[IWC Ingenieur SL Automatic 9223]] * [[IWC Ingenieur 9236|IWC Ingenieur SL, Ref. 9236]] (1987-1989) * 37541 * [[Porsche Design Compass 3551]] * 3755AM * [[IWC Bundeswehr 3519]] * 3757 - [[perpetual calendar]] module * [[IWC Ingenieur 9240]] (1985-1987) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9241]] (1985-1987) * 37582 - [[perpetual calendar]] module * [[IWC Ingenieur 3540]] (1987-1992) * [[IWC Portofino 3541]] (1989-1995) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9245]] (1987-1992) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9260]] (1987-1992) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9263]] (1987-1992) * [[IWC Portofino 9271]] (1990-1995) * 37590 * [[IWC Ingenieur 3508|Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, Ref. 3508]] (1989-1992) * [[IWC Ingenieur 3518|Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, Ref. 3518]] (1989-1992) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9238|Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, Ref. 9238]] (1989-1992) * [[IWC Ingenieur 9258|Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, Ref. 9258]] (1991-1993) **Description:** * [[Automatic]] movement **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[central seconds]] * Quickset date **Data:** * 12.5 [[ligne]] (28.0 mm) or 11.5 ligne (25.6 mm), 3.6 mm thick * 21 [[jewels]] (plus 9 ruby ball bearings on Cal. 375) * 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 42 hours **Production period:** * Production [[1985]]-[[2000]] * Predecessor [[IWC 375]] * Successor [[IWC 30110]] {{tag>Movements Automatic_movements IWC_calibres}}
