Today we are pleased to offer this superior caliber 89 IWC with striking sky blue dial.

It is full sized at 36mm, the same diameter as a Rolex Datejust - and its more than 45mm length is even longer than one.

It has long, semi-bombe lugs which really enhance its look and give it an even larger presence on the wrist.

Powered by one of the most highly-regarded manually wound movements ever made, talked about in the same sentence as Pateks, the watch is rich in technical details.

For those unfamiliar, the caliber 89 movement was designed by IWC's renowned technical director Albert Pellaton.

All its parts are original. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition - a 9.7 out of 10.

Its case presents as mint with only slight signs of previous polishing. On the wrist, it presents as beautiful mint.

Its original IWC dial has been expertly custom refinished in a sky blue color - the printing could pass as IWC factory done to the naked eye.

As part of the restoration, its movement has been freshly fully overhauled by a Master Watchmaker.

It is running very strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new IWC.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new aftermarket leather strap and aftermarket IWC style buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

A nearly six and a half decade old IWC that looks new on the wrist!
