Here is a fabulous, all original IWC from 1973 in a slim version. The silver dial is in very fine condition, with a black script IWC logo and steel strip hour markers with black contrast, double at 12 o’clock. The fils hands are in fine condition with a few marks mostly at the seconds hand. The window at 3 o’clock displays the quick-set date. This function should only be used with the hands at the bottom half of the dial.

The slim brushed stainless steel case with the original fish crown and stub lugs is in very fine condition, with only light overall wear. The brushed stainless steel case back is in very fine condition  with a few small nicks and marks. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original stainless steel Milanese IWC bracelet is in very fine condition with very little wear. It is big enough for very large wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist.

Inside the watch, IWC’s high grade caliber 3254 (based on the JLC caliber 889), beats strongly and accurately to within about +-10 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in April 2024 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.  

Slim watches are perhaps the ultimate dress style, fitting nicely under sleeves and looking larger than their diameter due to the slim profile. This is a great watch for those special occasions while it also is perfect as part of a regular rotation schedule.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

NB! Note that we are based in Switzerland and that the buyer is responsible for any import fees their country may impose on a purchase from abroad. Ask us if you have any questions.
