	This particular reference is powered by a Swiss manual-winding movement with patented Wyler Incaflex shock protection. In 1956, Wyler dropped several watches equipped with Incaflex shock protection from the top of the Eiffel Tower in France. The watches were still working perfectly immediately after the fall and the famous media stunt proved to be a huge success in strengthening the brand's reputation. In order to capture the American market, Wyler successfully repeated the publicity stunt by dropping several watches from the top of the Seattle Space Needle in 1962. These watches were also still intact and running perfectly after the 600-foot fall.
