{"product_id":"iwc-caliber-89","title":"IWC Cal. 89 1951","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, the International Watch Company of Schaffhausen resumed manufacturing civilian watches after the war years. At the heart of this resurgence, the caliber 89 established itself as one of the house's most remarkable movements: a hand-wound manufacture, it combines robustness, precision, and unfailing reliability, faithful to IWC's tradition of excellence. Introduced in 1946 and remaining in production for over thirty years until 1979, this mythical caliber equips a dress watch with understated and timeless elegance. The engraving on the back reveals its history: gifted by Gebrüder Sulzer AG of Winterthur to one of its long-serving employees, it bears witness to the Swiss tradition of rewarding loyalty and commitment with a durable quality object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrist size in photo\/video: 17 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSteel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 31 mm without crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLight wear consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSigned IWC fish-logo knurled crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEngraved Sulzer dedication on case back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCaliber 89, manual winding\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis caliber is derived from cal. 83, the famous movement that equipped many military watches of World War II.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful patina, more pronounced on the edges of the dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLarge printed Arabic numerals, railway minute track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePatinated lume hour\/minute hands; central blued steel seconds hand, very elegant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSignature \u003cem\u003eInternational Watch Co.
