IWC Calatrava

International Watch Co. - Calatrava Vintage Military Hermet Sport Anti-Magnet Cal. 83

Here is an IWC Calatrava dating from around 1942. The IWC Hermet, launched at the end of the 1930s, marks a turning point in watch durability. Designed to resist dust and humidity thanks to a hermetically sealed case, this elegant dress watch is powered by the robust caliber 83, also used in military models such as the Mark X. With its refined aesthetics and functional resistance, the Hermet demonstrates IWC's early commitment to creating watches that are both robust and elegant, laying the foundations for modern resistant watches. Its 30 mm steel case houses a black dial with two sword‑type hands. A small seconds hand is positioned at 6 o’clock. This collector's piece is powered by IWC’s manual‑winding caliber 83, introduced in the 1930s. This 15‑jewel movement oscillates at a frequency of 18,000 A/h. The watch is fitted with a brand‑new black leather strap. This IWC is in good condition for its age and comes with our box and a 6‑month warranty. | Model | Calatrava Vintage Military Hermet Sport Anti‑Magnet | | Year of production | Circa 1942 | | Material | Steel | | Movement | Mechanical manual winding | | Diameter | 30 mm | | Caliber | IWC 83 | | Frequency | 18,000 A/h | | Crystal | Hesalite | | Bracelet | Leather | | Water resistance | No | | Accessories | None | | Warranty | 6 months |
