Today we are pleased to offer this superior caliber 89 IWC. It is full size, measuring 35mm in diameter.

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.

The watch presents in gorgeous restored condition and presents as mint on the wrist. The parts are fully original down to the hands and crown.

The dial has been expertly refinished and the case presents beautifully. The royal blue dial is striking and the sweep seconds hand could be kept as is or the paint could be removed to make it all steel. The printing on the dial could pass as IWC factory done to the naked eye.

The movement has been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker and is keeping perfect time.

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.

Photos of the inside available upon request.
