☺ Overhauled and guaranteed to work ☺ ★★★ Genuine and Authentic Guarantee ★★★ This item was purchased by my family's watch shop at a used goods market that only those with a used goods dealer's license can enter. I personally purchased and am now selling it. All watches have been overhauled and maintained, with every detail of the internal mechanisms checked, so you can be 100% confident in their authenticity. This is an exquisite vintage automatic wristwatch for women from International Watch Company. It has a simple design that embodies the functional beauty of IWC. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find such a high-quality piece. The body is made of stainless steel with a screw-back case. The dial has a silver sunburst finish. The crown features the IWC fish logo, a symbol of water resistance, but this is an early type with realistic fins. It is equipped with an automatic winding movement that winds the mainspring automatically with the movement of the wrist. This "Pellaton winding system," designed by IWC's technical director at the time, is a highly efficient automatic winding mechanism that has been passed down to modern IWC automatic watches. The cal.44 movement is equipped with a classic screw balance. A pleasing feature is the rare Gay Frères IWC original bracelet, with a mirror-finished center and a hairline finish on both ends. The wrist size can accommodate up to approximately 17 cm, but we can arrange for original links, so please consult us before purchasing if you would like to extend it. The accuracy of the watch after the overhaul was measured at approximately +5 seconds per day with a timegrapher, resulting in high precision. The width of the body is approximately 24 mm (excluding the crown), which is a slightly larger size for women's watches of the time. Originally a water-resistant watch, the gaskets have been replaced during the overhaul, but the water resistance has deteriorated over time, so it should be treated as a non-water-resistant watch (sweat in the summer should not be a problem). The movement is better made than comparable Omega and Rolex watches of the time, and can be considered over-engineered. Buying an IWC means paying a premium for the movement, so it's essential to buy one that has been properly maintained. Automatic watches are more complex in structure than manual-winding watches, and those that have not been properly maintained will likely not function properly.
