IWC Calatrava Vintage – Calibre 83 – Circa 1940s

Timeless elegance and watchmaking heritage: this IWC Calatrava vintage embodies the purity of 1940s design. Its 33mm Staybrite steel case houses a manual winding mechanical movement, the famous IWC calibre 83, recently serviced for perfect precision.

The textured cream dial with applied gold indices, accompanied by a small second at 6 o'clock, offers a refined and minimalist reading. This piece charms with its balance, discreet charm, and typically Calatrava style.

The calibre 83, produced by IWC between 1935 and 1964, is one of the most reliable and robust movements from the Schaffhausen manufacture. It testifies to the exceptional level of finish that the house already offered at the time.

A perfect dress watch for lovers of historical Swiss watches, looking for a sober, rare piece signed by one of the greatest watchmaking houses.
