1970s IWC Automatic Watch
Why This Watch Matters
This understated watch from IWC will have you looking sharp in no time.
The Full Story
Not all watches are created equally, and this watch proves that in more ways than one. This example is incredibly elegant and understated, proving that IWC made some incredibly nice dress watches back in the day. The dial has aged beautifully and it has that silver glow that you don’t always see. The case is also thick with large faceted lugs, giving the 38mm diameter some extra heft. Not to mention, it’s powered by the automatic caliber 8541B movement, allowing for reliability and easy wear. What’s not to love about this IWC?
