Description:
The elegantly simple men's wristwatch from IWC shows a clear and unobtrusive face. Clear contrasts, clear design, easy to read. Such watches in stainless steel cases and with the Cal. 89 provided, IWC had been producing more or less the same design since the 1940s. Here a classic design is paired with the best quality, the Cal. 89 by IWC is one of the best Swiss movements ever. Our example has light age patina and comes with a fresh overhaul by our watchmaker.
