IWC Da Vinci 'Beta 21' Quartz Electronic | REF. 3501 | 18k Yellow Gold | 38mm
The IWC Da Vinci series is now legendary, but not many know the first Da Vinci in the series which made it's debut in 1969 - this reference 3501. Not only was this model the first in the Da Vinci line, but it was the first watch by IWC featuring the Swiss 'Beta 21' Quartz movement. This Quartz movement was developed by the Swiss watchmaking industry in response to the looming Quartz Crisis and the 21 references the number of brands/manufacturers who were involved in the development of the movement (including IWC). This watch is a pioneer, marking the launch of a new IWC collection and anticipating the bold, experimental era that would define 1970's watchmaking. Created in 1969, it captured a visionary approach to design and innovation. With its quartz-driven precision and daring aesthetics (such as the striking hexagonal case), it stands as a true testament to ingenuity.
