Is the movement identical to the original?
I recall Richard Habring stating that IWC did not renew the patent ont he split, which is why he used - and improved - it in their Habring². Has IWC introduced any changes to the changes to the split second mechanism?

IWC launches 3 limited edition Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante watches
dedicated to Milan, Paris, and Munich. IWC first introduced the Portugieser Rattrapante in 1995 (pictured below), and now is re-issuing 3 new Rattrapante models in honor of the 3 IWC Boutiques in Europe. The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante Edition...
That Milano edition looks incredibly nice.
I can only imagine how nice it looks in the metal. Blue coupled with rose gold is out of this world. Thanks for sharing Anthony!
Munich!
My first real watch was the IWC 3714-01, the same colour as the first rattrapante, but not a split chrono. Glad to see IWC keeping this line going, it is a classic shape and size, even though a lot of people prefer the 7 days version.
