Why This Watch Matters

This rose-gold IWC boasts the epic caliber 89 movement and beautiful curved lugs.

The Full Story

Although elegant dress watches might not be the first thing you associate with IWC today, this rose-gold beauty makes a strong case for vintage dress watches from the manufacturer. Made in the 1950s and powered by the revered caliber 89 manual-winding movement, this watch has many qualities that we adore. The case shape is something to admire, with its curved lugs making it easy to wear on any wrist. The fact that the case is rose gold elevates this average dress watch up to something very special. We think you’ll appreciate this piece just as much in jeans and a t-shirt as in a suit.

What we Love and What You Should Know

Overall this watch is in good condition for its age. The case is well preserved and has minimal scratches to the surface. The caseback shows the most wear from being opened, but that is to be expected from a watch this age. The dial has no lume and has maintained a beautiful finish with some light spotting near 12 o’clock.
