Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC Schaffhausen is known for its harmonious blend of Swiss precision and innovative engineering. Unlike many traditional watchmakers, IWC has built its identity on robustness, functionality and cutting-edge technology, becoming a point of reference for professionals and enthusiasts of technical watches.
Among the models that have marked the history of the brand, the IWC 3713 Doppelchronograph occupies a prominent place. Introduced in the 1990s, it was one of the first automatic split-seconds chronographs to be accessible to a wider audience. Based on the Valjoux 7750 movement, modified by watchmaker Richard Habring, the 3713 features a sophisticated double chronograph complication, which enables the measurement of intermediate times with the utmost precision. This feature, usually reserved for very high-end timepieces, confirms IWC's innovative approach to combining advanced technology with practical usability.
The Doppelchronograph IW3713 perfectly embodies IWC's watchmaking excellence, standing out with its sophisticated split-seconds chronograph function, which enables the precise measurement of intermediate time intervals.
This striking model features a 42 mm stainless steel case that combines solidity with elegance for a flawless presence on the wrist. The black dial, enhanced by highly legible white Arabic numerals and luminescent hands, ensures perfect visibility in any lighting conditions. The watch is powered by the automatic IWC 79230 calibre, based on the legendary Valjoux 7750 and expertly modified to integrate the complex split-seconds function. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 44 hours, it ensures the highest levels of precision and reliability.
Its distinguishing features include an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a screwed case back and water resistance to 60 metres, making it a versatile timepiece suitable for everyday use. The stainless steel bracelet enhances the perfect balance between sportiness and refinement. Offered as a full set, complete with original box and papers, this IW3713 is in excellent condition, representing an unmissable opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of fine watchmaking.
