====== IWC 76061 ====== The **76061** is an [[chronograph]] [[tourbillon]] movement with [[perpetual calendar]] produced by [[IWC]] based on the [[Valjoux 7750]] from [[1999]] through [[2004]]. ===== Details ===== The [[Valjoux 7750]] movement was extremely important to the resurgence of [[IWC]] and the basic design remains in use today. The company has used it for many important innovations since the 1980's, including a [[perpetual calendar]], [[rattrapante]], and [[grande complication]]. The 7750 [[ebauche]] was used for the [[IWC 7900|790 family of movements]] and the basic architecture is the basis for today's [[IWC 69000|69000 family of movements]]. In [[1985]], IWC surprised the world with the introduction of an innovative [[perpetual calendar]] movement, [[IWC 7906|Cal. 7906]]. Designed by the legendary [[Kurt Klaus]], this movement was much simpler to operate than previous perpetual calendars and was reliable and relatively affordable as well. In [[1992]], IWC created a [[tourbillon]] [[grande complication]] based on the 7750 and Klaus' perpetual calendar module. In [[1999]], IWC created another 7750-based [[perpetual calendar]] [[tourbillon]], the [[IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon]]. This watch featured this **Cal. 76061**, which boasted all the features of the original Da Vinci Perpetual, with the tourbillon visible through the caseback. An unusual feature was that this movement was [[hand-winding]]. The watch, and Cal. 76061, was only produced for five years. ===== Applications ===== * [[IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon 3752]] (1999-2004) **Description:** * [[Tourbillon]] [[chronograph]] [[perpetual calendar]] movement based on [[Valjoux 7750]] **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[chronograph seconds]] central * [[Date by pointer]] at 3 00 * [[Month by pointer]] and [[chronograph hours]] at 6 00 * [[Year window]] at 7 30 * [[Day by pointer]] and [[small seconds]] at 9 00 * [[Chronograph minutes]] and [[moon phase indicator]] at 12 00 **Data:** * Ø 30 mm * 35 [[jewels]] * 21,600 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 44 hours **Production period:** * [[1999]]-[[2004]] {{tag>Movements Valjoux_7750 Chronograph_movements Tourbillon_movements IWC_calibres}}
