The Da Vinci is the softest shape in the IWC lineup: a round, pebble-like case that sits closer to a dress watch than to the brand's pilot chronographs. This replica of reference IW376002 follows that silhouette with a polished steel case, a clean silver-toned dial and a tapered leather strap. It is the watch you reach for when a suit is on, and it wears just as easily with an oxford and jeans.

Materials and Specifications
The case is cut from 316L stainless steel and finished in two stages, with a mirror polish on the bezel and lugs and a softer brushed surface along the flanks. The dial is lacquered rather than painted, which gives it a flat, even sheen under indoor light and keeps the printing crisp at close range. Inside sits an automatic movement with a power reserve in the region of 40 hours, wound by the rotor as you wear it. The crystal is domed and coated to cut glare, and the strap is a grained calf leather with a soft lining that breaks in quickly.
Shipping and Returns
Orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging with tracking, and every watch is checked and timed before it leaves the bench. If the fit or finish is not what you expected, returns are accepted within the stated window as long as the watch comes back unworn with its protective film intact.
Is the Da Vinci comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes. At around 40 mm with curved lugs, the case hugs the wrist and slips under a shirt cuff without catching, which makes it an easy daily piece.
How should I care for the leather strap?
Keep it away from prolonged water contact and let it air dry if it gets damp. A light conditioning twice a year keeps the grain supple and prevents cracking at the buckle holes.
Does the date change quickly?
The date advances with the crown in the second position and steps over cleanly at midnight once the watch is running and set correctly.
