1972 IWC Yacht Club Watch

The IWC Yacht Club is regarded as one of the most iconic watches from the 1970’s, thanks in part its classic shape of the case and so highly regarded automatic movement.

Dating from 1972, the stainless steel case measures 35.5mm across plus the IWC crown and looks so much larger on the wrist due to the case style. With a simple, clean dial with the date window, the dial has the iconic “International Watch Company Schaffhausen” written in its Italic style font combined with the upper case “IWC”

Inside is the highly regarded IWC calibre 8541B which is considered one of the best movements ever produced not only by IWC but any watchmaking company in the world. This IWC  movement was designed by Albert Pellaton who was the technical director of IWC, and this automatic movement has an ingenious system that included the ability for the automatic rotor to wind the watch regardless of which direction the rotor was turning. Fitted with a micro-regulator to guarantee accuracy and this among various other features make this one of the most accurate and well regarded watch movements in any watch back then and even today more than 40 years later.

Just back from a complete servic by our own in-store Omega certified watchmaker, this watch runs beautifully and comes with our twenty four month warranty.

Fitted on its original stainless steel IWC band, this is an incredibly handsome watch that will look so good day or night.
