Description:
The Cal. IWC's 852 was an in-house design and production, an automatic movement with the so-called PELLATON elevator principle. At that time it was said that this elevator principle was the best automatic system produced in Switzerland! In the meantime, the manufacturer is again equipping automatic wristwatches with movements based on the PELLATON principle. The silver-plated dial is very well preserved. 3-part, pressed stainless steel case, silver-plated dial with Arabic numerals, gold-plated, wedge indices and Dauphine hands. Big second from the middle. Original crown with fish symbol. Plexiglass, brown, neutral leather strap with stainless steel pin buckle. Here we offer a freshly overhauled, well-preserved copy from 1952!
