We are pleased to offer this beautifully restored IWC mens dress watch. It a mens midsize, well-suited for someone with smaller wrists.

For the movement the company used one of its superior high grade Caliber 423 handwound mechanisms with dual shock absorbers and adjusted to five positions.

Housing the fine movement is its classic original steel case. The bracelet has an interesting functional design and can be sized without definite increments to fit virtually any size wrist up to about 7.5 inches.

The watch presents in true expertly restored condition. The case top and bracelet would originally have been gold plated, and that has been previously removed. The royal blue dial is a perfect refinishing.

As part of the restoration it has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. The movement is pristine.

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