While IWC is known best among watch connoisseurs for its military watches such as the Mark IV or the aviation-inspired chronographs like , the manufacture’s abilities are by no means restricted to those areas.

For every sturdy, robust military watch or no-nonsense chronograph, there are scores of elegant dress watches whose simple exteriors belie the intricate workings within.

This piece remains in excellent condition and is wearable by today's standards - and for any wrist. Not to mention, with its precious metal case, this is a total sleeper!
