An elegant time-only IWC Schaffhausen dress watch with a modern feel to it. An undeniably pioneering design for a watch made in 1964, this watch is as original as they come. Everything about it is mint. 

The case houses a large dial with a thin, smooth glass, low-profile to the minimal bezel which makes for a minimalistic yet beautiful design which oozes class. The lugs have a straight inner edge with a stylish outer bevel to them. Bearing a fish symbol on the crown, this watch was designed to be water resistant, something which has undeniably helped keep the entire watch, inside and out, in pristine condition. 

The dial has a faint matte, vertical brush which brings out the sleek, polished batons through tonal juxtaposition. This same texture also gives the dial subtleties in reflected light – it appears a tone between grey or deep black, depending on the angle. 

Truly a beautiful model from IWC, and an excellent example of one at that. We hope you’ll agree this watch is ahead of its time!
