IWC Double Chronograph Split Seconds - Limited Edition (Ref. IW3713), 1990s

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance IWC’s Doppelchronograph is one of those watches that quietly carries real technical weight. Introduced in the early 1990s, it built on the Valjoux 7750 architecture but added a split-seconds complication, allowing two elapsed times to be measured simultaneously. At the time, this was one of the most accessible ways into a rattrapante chronograph from a major brand. Reference IW371329 takes that concept and pushes it into a much more limited and distinctive direction. Produced in just 130 pieces, this configuration pairs a white dial with deep navy subdials, giving it a clear, almost instrument-like layout. The addition of the red split-seconds hand is not just functional, it makes the complication immediately legible and visually separates it from the standard chronograph hand. The case remains true to the Doppelchronograph design language, with a solid, purposeful presence and the additional pusher at 10 o’clock to control the split function. It is a watch built around utility first, but this limited execution adds a layer of collectibility that most examples do not have. Writer’s Thoughts The limited edition navy subdials against the white base keep everything readable, and it does not feel busy even though there is a lot going on. Being limited to 130 pieces is really cool, but honestly, it is the execution that makes this one interesting. It feels like a tool, but it is such a clean look thanks to the dial colors. The pop of red with the second chronograph hand is the cherry on top. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity. Specifications Brand: IWC Model: Doppelchronograph (Ref.
