====== IWC 69355 ====== **Cal. 69355** is a midrange [[in-house]] [[automatic chronograph]] movement produced by [[IWC]] since [[2018]]. ===== Details ===== The 69000 calibre family is similar in architecture to the [[IWC 79320]] and [[IWC 75320]] which were based on the popular [[Valjoux 7750]] series. IWC greatly modified the movement, however, including implementing a [[column wheel]] system rather than the cam-based 7750. The Cal. 69000 series can properly be called an [[manufacture|in-house]] movement, which enhances the reputation of the company's watches. Although it features bi-directional [[pawl]] winding, it is a "push-pull" design like the [[Seiko]] [[magic lever]] system rather than IWC's [[Pellaton]] system. This makes the 69000 calibres more affordable than the [[IWC 89000]] family. **Cal. 69355** is a two-register design with no date complication. It features [[small seconds]] at 6 00 rather than 9 00 as on the 7750, a special feature previously found on the [[IWC 79240|Cal. 79240]], which it replaces. ===== Applications ===== * [[IWC Portugieser Chronograph 3716]] (2018-present) **Description:** * [[Automatic chronograph]] [[manufacture]] movement * Bi-directional winding **Functions:** * Hours, minutes centrally * [[Small seconds]] at 6 00 * [[Hacking seconds]] * [[Chronograph]] with minute counter at 12 00 **Data:** * Ø 30 mm * Height 7.0 mm * 27 [[jewels]] * 194 components * 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 46 hours **Production period:** * [[2018]]-current * Predecessor [[IWC 79240]] ===== Weblinks ===== * [[https://www.iwc.com/us/en/calibre-family/69000.html|Calibre Family 69000]], iwc.com {{tag>Movements Automatic_movements Automatic_chronograph_movements IWC_calibres}}
