商品説明
This is a 1966 IWC manual-wind model with a rare 18K solid gold case.
As an 18K solid gold model, the inside of the case back is engraved with "18K 0.750" to indicate gold purity, a hallmark, and the serial number and model type.
The back of the case lugs also bears a hallmark.
The dial has a radial finish, with delicate lines that give it a luxurious feel.
At the 12 o'clock position on the dial, the cursive "International Watch Co" inscription gives it an antique atmosphere.
The indices are Roman numerals, and the hands are black for good legibility.
The movement is the manual-wind "Cal.422".
The "Cal.422" is a two-hand movement derived from the Cal.402, with the second hand omitted.
It features a movement with a divided bridge, characteristic of IWC's aesthetic.
The crown has a diameter of 3.8mm, making it easy to grip and highly operable.
It retains a clean condition with little of the typical wear on the edges often seen on manual-wind model crowns.
The case diameter is a compact 33.7mm.
This is recommended for those looking for an antique dress watch.
How to Operate
Manual Winding: Rotate the crown upwards in its normal position.
How to Pull Out the Crown: Gently pull it out by inserting a fingernail between the case and the crown.
Pulling the crown too hard may cause it to detach. Please pull it out gently.
To prevent the crown from bending, operate the watch while it is off your wrist.
Gentle operation can reduce stress on the crown.
Time Setting: Pull out the crown and rotate it upwards.
Condition
This watch has undergone overhaul and exterior finishing by our store and is ready for immediate use.
The crystal has been replaced with a new (matching) one and is clean.
The strap has been replaced with a new Morellato strap, ensuring comfortable use.
The buckle is original (gold-plated). There is some wear and plating loss.
Since 18K solid gold is softer than stainless steel, the lugs may bend if subjected to excessive force.
It is recommended not to overtighten the strap.
The dial has no noticeable scratches or dirt, making it a very clean example for its age.
Due to its age, it is not waterproof.
Please avoid wearing it on rainy days or hot days.
Also, be careful of impacts and magnetism.
