Here is a fabulous, all original ultra-slim IWC dress watch from 1970 in an unusual reference. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with the block IWC logo and the script logo below it. It has faceted steel bar hour markers, double at the poles. There is a scatter of tiny corrosion spots around the dial, none of which are really visible to the naked eye. The faceted fils hands are in very fine condition.

The C-shape ultra slim stainless steel case with the original crown and long lugs is in very fine condition, with a brushed face and polished sides showing only light overall wear. The stainless steel case back is in fine condition with some overall wear. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The original stainless steel Milanese bracelet is in very fine condition, showing little stretching and only light overall wear. It is large enough for big wrists. Make sure the specific bracelet size listed in the details is not too small for your wrist as links can not be added to this bracelet.

Inside the watch, IWC’s superb 403 movement beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in May 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

Vintage IWC’s are fantastic watches to wear, and this square model looks stunning on the wrist with its elegant design and excellent condition. This is a watch that will serve you well for many years to come, and it can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.

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.
