The production date is verified from internal movement serial tables, highlighting its historical significance. The timepiece employs the original Caliber 53 movement, initially crafted for pocket watches and expertly converted to wristwatch format. This transformation underscores the craftsmanship and dedication to preserving historic watchmaking techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original dial, featuring Arabic numerals and a railroad minute track, reflects the classical elegance of IWC from an era when pocket watches were transitioning into wristwatches. The stainless steel case, complemented by a transparent exhibition back, marries modern utility with vintage appeal, offering collectors a unique view of the historically significant movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIWC's commitment to quality is evident in the \"Probus Scafusia\" marking on the movement, a tradition rooted in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The mineral crystal and period-correct crown enhance the watch's authenticity while providing contemporary durability. This timepiece is a testament to how early 20th-century horological art can be skillfully adapted for modern wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand and Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e IWC Schaffhausen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel with exhibition back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLug-to-Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Period correct\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap or Bracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calf leather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Identification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caliber 53\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJewels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Serial Masked:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4007•••\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1907\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash Water Resistant (handwashing ok, not showering)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-04-2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox\/Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure black travel watch case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Invoice and our service certificate worth €369 — included free of charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🚚 Shipping, Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsured worldwide shipping. 14-day inspection (unused, seals intact).
