Clean, simple, understated and elegant. All the things we are accustomed to with this great brand. We think this combination of the unrestored gilt ‘dauphine’ hands, ‘baton’ hour indices, with double baton hour indices at 12 is hard to beat and the dial contrasts wonderfully with the stainless steel case. This dial has got the addition of a date window at 3, we believe this completes the watch perfectly. The original Cal. 8531, 21 Jewel automatic movement fitted to this watch is part of a family of movements considered to be the best ever automatics produced by IWC and therefore one of horology’s best of all time.** It originated as the Cal. 85 in 1950 and evolved through Cal. 852-3-4. The last digit, ie 1, denotes this movement has a date function.amplitude 289 daily gait deviation 15-18sec/day Given that it was in production for over 40 years and enhanced in each iteration, this movement has proven itself as durable, accurate and easy to service. Above all else, its winding system, developed by IWC’s famous technical director, Albert Pellaton, has achieved great acclaim.original IWC box and handtag inclouded.The purchase price does not include the shipping costs.
