====== IWC 80000 ======
**Calibre 80000** is a family of robust [[automatic]] watch movements produced by [[IWC]] from [[2005]] through [[2017]].

===== History =====
IWC began transitioning to in-house movement capability in [[2000]] with the launch of the [[IWC 5000|Cal. 5000 family]]. That movement featured an updated version of the company's classic [[Pellaton]] winding system but was a high-end movement with an extra-long spring for [[seven day]] power reserve.

IWC sought to prove that they could produce a more conventional in-house movement and launched this Cal. 80000 family in [[2005]]. The resulting [[IWC 80110|Cal. 80110]] featured exceptional shock absorption, above the natural ruggedness of the Pellaton system. Yet it is a compact movement, measuring just 30 mm in diameter and 7.3 mm thick, the first small movement developed in-house by IWC since the original [[IWC 81|Cal. 81 family]] of the 1950s.

The basic design of the [[wheel train]] and location of time-keeping components is similar to the [[Valjoux 7750]] (specifically the hand-winding [[Valjoux 7765]]), a movement IWC engineers were very familiar with as it was the basis for their [[IWC 7900|Cal. 7900 family]]. But every major component is specific to the IWC movement and the winding system is unique to IWC. And, of course, the IWC 80110 and 80111 are time-only movements with none of the [[chronograph]] components found in the 7750 family.

IWC retired the Cal. 80000 family after [[2017]] in favor of the slimmer [[IWC 82000|Cal. 82000 family]] which uses the [[ETA 2892/A2]] architecture rather than the [[ETA 7750]] design.
