The Sport Complication to drive around town
The idea for this limited edition was first mooted and discussed in January 2006 between IWC CEO George Kern, Sincere Watch Limited COO Ong Ban and Senior VP Mr. K.K. Tay. Within a short period of only 4 months, IWC has successfully presented the working prototype to Sincere Fine Watches.

The Revolution Team is privileged to be given an exclusive preview of the working prototype and in our preliminary first look; we are pleased to report that the watch looks better than the already handsome Portuguese version and in our opinion, perhaps the best looking Calibre 5000 base ‘Big Pilots’ to date.
This watch is limited to 25 pieces in platinum and available exclusively at the Sincere Haute Horlogerie store.
