IWC
Yacht Club - IWC's sporty line was introduced in the late
60s as model 811, featuring shock resistance and a unique
winder sealing system.
This stainless steel watch, which at one time was IWC's best selling
watch, and was quite popular in the Middle East. In fact,
the archives
list this one as being originally sold in Bhagdad. This YC contains
the mighty 8541B Pellaton movement that is getting more and
more
recognition as a horological classic. SOLD |

IWC Ceramic
Flieger - Model 3705 was introduced in the 1993 catalog as an
example of IWC thinking outside the box and attempting to create
an even stronger material for watch cases. The black case is made
of zirconium oxide and is impervious to cuts, dents and scratches.
Production was halted in 1997, after IWC realized it was just too
expensive to produce. A ceramic DaVinci was also produced and like
the "Black" Flieger it is extremely rare. |
