IWC Schaffhausen automatic vintage watch - c1960s

This is a simply beautiful watch by IWC Schaffhausen, who need no introduction. The watch dates from between 1965-1970 and is in excellent, clean all-original condition with minor wear. It features a stunning original, unrestored silvered dial, a steel case, Cal 8541 21 jewel automatic movement with date function and original signed crown. The watch comes complete with a new, quality Hirsch strap and a new quality watch box.

The solid steel case is in excellent, clean condition for its age, with minor wear. It measures 35mm wide, excluding the original signed crown x 41mm long including the lugs. The back closes tightly and the inside is signed 'International Watch Co', 'Probus Scafusia IWC', 'Swiss' and reference '808A 1825191'.

The original, unrestored silvered dial is in mint clean condition. The steel hour batons are applied and the dial is signed 'International Watch Co', 'Schaffhausen', 'Automatic' and 'Swiss'. It also features a date function, which works correctly. The original steel hands, including centre-seconds hand, are in excellent unbent condition and the lens is very clear.

The automatic 21 jewel movement [Cal 8541] is in very good working order and is signed 'International Watch Co', 'c.8541' and the movement reference number '1801653'. The movement has just been oiled by a professional watchmaker and is brighter than photographed.

This beautiful watch comes complete with a new, high quality Hirsch strap. The watch will be posted in a new quality watch box, for safekeeping and for easy wrapping as a gift to truly remember.
