IWC DaVinci Chronograph Ceramic 3766-01 Luxury Watch Review

http://www.thewatchbox.com/watches/iwc The IWC DaVinci Chronograph Ceramic is a watch for a true "Renaissance Man." Its semi-tonneau case and black-white color palette are sober enough for the opera house, but its scratch-resistant ceramic case and robust flyback chronograph movement are ready to rough it at the Animal House. And with a production run of only three model years (2010-12), this DaVinci Chronograph Ceramic is one exclusive machine. IWC's modern DaVinci launched in 2007, but the Chronograph Ceramic didn't arrive until 2010. It was worth the wait. While the DaVinci line has been something of an IWC connoisseur's piece since its launch in 1986 (with an early ceramic option, no less), the 2010 Chronograph Ceramic is a DaVinci with universal appeal. The key to the IWC 3765-03's aesthetic triumph is the tandem of white metal accents against a powerful black base. The case and bezel are a case-in-point that illustrate this effect; the polished titanium bezel seems to be floating in suspension above a dark void. IWC's two-tone treatment in high-tech materials transforms the previously patrician DaVinci case into something approaching horological “avant garde.” Think "Richard Mille RM011," and you begin to see the resemblance. The stark contrast of light and dark continues on this IWC DaVinci's exclusive dial. Unlike the other watches in the IWC DaVinci line, the Chronograph Ceramic 3766-01 features what IWC calls a "Rehaut en Volant" - a flying minute track. As
