I've often thought it odd that Prada is of the few luxury fashion brands out there that doesn't a nice watch collection. I mean they do have some branded watches, but they are nothing special. The brand is really missing out. This IWC watch is the next best thing, and is a damn good looking IWC watch based on it's GST series (whose case later made it to the first Aquatimer watch series).
This is a very rare IWC for Prada limited edition watch that was released several years ago. There were only 2000 pieces, and they are hard to come by today. The original price was something like 8,000 Euros. This one on eBay is in basically mint condition and going for about half that. I'd like to think that this watch would look damn nice with an all black suit right? The movement is a modified ETA Valjoux 7750 that has the seconds counter removed to give it a cleaner bi-compax layout for the subdials. The use of silver tones with the black subdials is well done. My feeling is that the watch is thematically similar to the classic Porsche Design Chronograph 1 watch released in the 1970s.


If you like Prada, then this is a good find. If you don't care for Prada thenit is still a nice watch, and basically a good looking IWC (and you can just ignore the word Prada on the face and back). I know that some of you really get irked when a fashion label places its name on a watch that they really didn't have much to do with. I am no brand whore, but I have to say that I think certain major fashion brands got to be that way because they make mostly nice clothes. This is of course before entities like Gap came about. So check out this really nice fine timepiece, it will find a home with just one lucky watch lover.
