Starting with the dial, for a watch of its age the stunning silver straight brush dial which comes in immaculate condition. With its crisp wording in the middle and the sharp polished steel hands reflecting brilliantly in the light. All coming together with the beautiful matching applied polish hour indices with black inserts and raised circle minute markers along the edge of the dial.

Moving on to the case, the case comes in immaculate condition having been polished by a professional watchmaker. Maintaining all its sharp edges and scattering light in a stunning way. This comes with IWC’s iconic fish logo on the crown, meant to indicate the use of a waterproof gasket inside the watch which upheld waterproofing standards of its time.

Turning the watch over would reveal a simple yet elegant mix of mirror polish and straight brushing. Opening up the case one would notice the case serial number on the back of the case-back and the its reference number. Do message me to see an image of the inside of the case-back.
