====== IWC 89800 ====== **Cal. 89800** is a high-end [[manufacture]] [[flyback]] [[automatic chronograph]] with [[digital]] [[perpetual calendar]] produced by [[IWC]] since [[2009]]. ===== Details ===== IWC had long used [[IWC 7900|a family of automatic chronograph movements]] based on the [[Valjoux 7750]]. These were not only used in basic [[chronograph]] watches but [[complicated]] pieces, including [[grande complication]] and [[tourbillon]] watches. Two important complications on that base were the [[perpetual calendar]] and [[rattrapante]] modules that helped re-establish IWC as a maker of advanced watch movements. IWC had never had a [[flyback]] chronograph, however, and many buyers looked down at the pedestrian base on which these complications were developed. In [[2007]], IWC introduced a new [[IWC Da Vinci Chronograph 3764|Da Vinci Chronograph, Ref. 3764]] with an all-new [[in-house]] movement developed by [[Kurt Klaus]]. The new [[IWC 89360|Cal. 89360]] was an advanced design with a [[flyback]] chronograph, efficient [[Pellaton winding]], and power reserve of 68 hours, even while operating at 28,800 A/h. In [[2009]], IWC paired this new movement with a [[digital]] [[perpetual calendar]] [[complication]], resulting in this **Cal. 89800**. This was updated in [[2013]], becoming **Cal. 89801** and **Cal. 89802** for different applications, the latter for semi-transparent subdials. These remain in production [[as of 2019]]. ===== Applications ===== * Cal. 89800 (2009-2016) * [[IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 3761]] (2009-2016) * Cal. 89801 (2013-present) - 51 jewels, 474 components * [[IWC Pilot's Watch Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month 3791]] (2013-2017) * [[IWC Aquatimer Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month 3794]] (2014-2017) * [[IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month 3817]] (2017-2018) * [[IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month 3818]] (2019) * [[IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month 3972]] (2015-2016) * Cal. 89802 (2013-present) - 51 jewels, 474 components * [[IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 3792]] (2013-2016) * [[IWC Aquatimer Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 3794]] (2018-present) **Description:** * [[Automatic chronograph]] [[flyback]] [[digital]] [[perpetual calendar]] movement * Bi-directional winding ([[Pellaton winding system]]) **Functions:** * Hours, minutes central * [[Flyback chronograph]] seconds * [[Digital]] [[month window]] at 3 00 * [[Small seconds]] ([[hacking]]) and [[leap year indicator]] at 6 00 * [[Digital]] [[date window]] at 9 00 * [[Chronograph hours]] and [[chronograph minutes]] at 12 00 **Data:** * Ø 30 mm * Height 9.9 mm * 51 [[jewels]] * 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 68 hours **Production period:** * [[2009]]-current ===== Weblinks ===== * [[https://www.iwc.com/us/en/calibre-family/89000.html|Calibre Family 89000]], iwc.com {{tag>Movements Automatic_movements Pellaton_movements Automatic_chronograph_movements Flyback_chronograph_movements Perpetual_calendar_movements IWC_calibres}}
