Based on the Valjoux 7750, IWC's 79240 is a highly reliable workhorse. In comparison to its base, it dropped the small seconds scale, date and day window. Caliber 79350 is the successor to the 79240, which it replaced around 2007. The finishing is slightly different; other than that the movements are identical.
