Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1960s.
This is the very rare Jumbo size model.
It has the legendary IWC in house calibre 8541 fully automatic movement with quick set date regarded as one of the finest automatics ever made and known as the "watchmakers watch" as you can see is in superb condition.
The dial is in mint condition having been fully restored.
The attention to detail is what make these IWC watches stand out from other manufacturers. The movement has Pelaton automatic winding the most efficient winding system but very expensive to make.
The minute markers are small polished silver plated circles that are individually machined into the surface of the dial, everyone else like Rolex and Omega just used printed minute markers.
The seconds hand is domed along its whole length meaning that from any angle the light reflects along its centre line, these are very difficult to make, everyone else just used standard flat topped seconds hands
As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.
The watch case is Jumbo size and measures 37mm in diameter not including the crown.
We can fit any colour or style of strap or we can fit a stainless steel mesh bracelet which is adjustable to fit any size
The watch has just been fully serviced and comes with a 12 month warranty.
If you only ever buy one vintage watch make it an IWC.
