This model features a silver dial with applied markers. The original and untouched factory dial shows light patina. The unique C-shape case is nice and unpolished, still reflecting the brushed surface finish with some minor wear on the caseback. The original signed crown clicks in and out smoothly and has excellent winding action. The watch is powered by the legendary Calibre 89. Developed by IWC Technical Director Albert Pellaton, the famed manual winding movement was utilised over the course of 3 decades by the Schaffhausen brand and powered some of the most iconic IWC pieces, including the Mark XI pilots watch. The movement keeps excellent time. The watch comes fitted on a new black leather strap with a steel buckle. Delivered with a complimentary blue travel pouch. Upcoming pieces for sale will be offered on Instagram at jianwei.watches before being featured on WatchExchange.
