About the IWC 35111

The SW300 is Sellita's equivalent of the ETA 2892-A2, produced after ETA restricted supply to outside brands, and it matches the 2892's dimensions: 25.6 mm across and thin enough for a dress case. IWC's version runs at 28,800 vph with a 42-hour reserve and 25 jewels, carries a date, and is finished and regulated by IWC. The 2892 piece explains the architecture both movements share.

In the library it sits under 38 Portofino references, the Automatic 40 and Automatic 37, 20 Pilot's Watches, the Mark XVIII of 2016 in its 40 mm case, 9 Da Vinci Automatic 36s of 2017 and 3 Ingenieurs. The 40 mm case accounts for 37 references, the 37 mm for 16 and the 36 mm for 14. Seven are limited editions.

The 30110 is the ETA-based movement it replaced, and the 32111 the in-house five-day movement that replaced it in turn.
