Do you have any watches you bought despite the marketing campaign?
Rather than because of it?
I’m not always a contrarian, but in this case I just loved the dial, independent of any slogans on the back of IWC’s “Climate Action” watch.
One yellow arrowhead to another.
It’s a beefy watch, and heavy even on a strap.
Ok, it could be better w/o the date but it’s still very nice,
Ceramic bezel works for me too. The strap sadly is proprietary and replacements cost a fortune.
And the second hand tip is hollow like the ones on my Perpetual and
on my Rattrapante.
Overall, I like it a lot but it’s heavy and the strap is getting tired.

I honestly don’t see much advertising for watches.
The ones I see are in magazines and devoted to watches targeted towards women. The only watch I bought that I would consider a protest was a Rolex Cellini. I call it the unRolex. I traded in my YG DD and the AD showed me this and a JLC. I immediately loved the elegant design and purchased it on the spot. The heavy advertising for Rolex in sports for its other models may have influenced me.
There are some good marketing campaigns, but they are rare. And I never pay attention to them when I consider buying a watch.
About the strap
I believe there's many folks happy to help you making a custom strap for the watch. What I really would like to see is adding the adapters for casual straps more common. Tecnuche Watches made it perfect I think.
