Can somone please give me some info on how fast the date/day on the cal 79420
changes. Has IWC added any quick date change over the base movement?
I have another (non-iwc) watch with a Valjoux/ETA 7750 and the date change
takes about 6 hours. When this is happening you are locked out from changing
the time. This is a problem as i rotate my watches and dont use a winder, so
about 1/4 of the time when i pick this watch up i cannot change the time and
have to give it a bit of a manual wind-up and hope that the next day it hasn't
stopped within the date change zone again.
This isn't a problem with my Portuguese Auto or Spitfire 3878, but i noticed
that the new Top Gun Ceretanium still uses the 7750 base movement and it could
be a dealbreaker
Thanks
