IWC Schaffhausen Automatic
IWC Schaffhausen Automatic reflects the design language of its period, with proportions and details characteristic of its era. Its 33.0 mm proportions, staybrite stainless steel case and professionally restored by a dial specialist using period-correct techniques dial create a composed, wearable presence without obscuring the watch’s individual period character. Inside, the automatic movement, fitted with 21 jewels provides the technical foundation and connects the watch with IWC Schaffhausen’s watchmaking tradition. The calf leather strap completes a practical configuration suited to regular wear. For a contemporary collector, it offers a considered combination of period design, mechanical interest and everyday usability.
