A mid-century IWC from 1960, powered by the automatic Cal. 853, represents the brand’s thoughtful approach to everyday wristwatch design. The 35 mm Staybrite steel case and silver dial with applied batons and dauphine hands deliver restrained, wearable proportions and a clean period aesthetic. Inside, the full-rotor movement with Pellaton winding and 21 jewels speaks to IWC’s technical tradition of robust automatic calibres. Freshly serviced and ready to wear, this example pairs vintage mechanical character with sensible modern use for a collector seeking a classic daily-wear IWC.
