====== IWC 89900 ====== **Cal. 89900** is a high-end [[manufacture]] [[tourbillon]] [[flyback]] [[automatic chronograph]] with [[retrograde]] date produced by [[IWC]] since [[2017]]. ===== 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 [[2017]], IWC paired this new movement with a [[tourbillon]] and [[retrograde]] [[date by pointer]], resulting in this **Cal. 89900**. It remains in production [[as of 2019]]. ===== Applications ===== * [[IWC Da Vinci Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph 3931]] (2017-present) * [[IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Retrograde Chronograph 3940]] (2017) unique piece **Description:** * [[Automatic chronograph]] [[flyback]] [[tourbillon]] [[retrograde]] date movement * Bi-directional winding ([[Pellaton winding system]]) **Functions:** * Hours, minutes central * [[Flyback chronograph]] seconds * [[Open heart]] [[tourbillon]] at 6 00 * [[Retrograde]] [[date by pointer]] at 9 00 * [[Chronograph hours]] and [[chronograph minutes]] at 12 00 **Data:** * Ø 30 mm * Height 9.9 mm * 42 [[jewels]] * 375 components * 28,800 A/h * [[Power reserve]] 68 hours **Production period:** * [[2017]]-Present ===== 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 Tourbillon_movements IWC_calibres}}
