Once again, with this IWC special edition for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, blue represents the colour of hope for disadvantaged children all over the world-this time on the dial of the Portuguese Automatic. its clear, simple design will ensure that it is a much-coveted timepiece among purists who place exacting demands on mechanical movements. The highly efficient, IWC-manufactured 51011 calibre with Pellaton winding system has a 7-day power reserve. In keeping with a revered tradition, and within all the projects supported worldwide by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, IWC organizes a children?s drawing competition. The winning design is engraved on a medallion and set into the back of the case of the special edition. In 2010, the jury chose the drawing by 12-year-old K. D. Sriyan Chamod Dilshan of Sri Lanka, who illustrated the motto ?Team Spirit? with a picture of four young people in a circle, holding hands. The Seenigama Sports project was established with the help of the Foundation in 2005 in the southern province around Galle, the region most badly hit by the tsunami. Sports activities, such as cricket, volleyball and badminton help the children to come to terms with their traumatic experiences. The engraving is a reminder that a portion of the proceeds from sales is destined to help some of the world?s problem regions.
