IWC Cushion Case Ref.814A Cal.8541B 35.0mm 1971

A beautifully understated classic from IWC’s golden era, the Ref.814A embodies everything collectors love about early 1970s Schaffhausen design. With its distinctive cushion-shaped stainless steel case and perfectly balanced proportions, this piece wears with a quiet confidence that few modern watches can replicate. The standout feature here is its elegant sunburst dial, offering a radiant finish that shifts beautifully under different lighting. Powering by the legendary IWC Cal.8541B automatic movement, part of the famed Pellaton winding family known for its robustness and engineering excellence.

In addition, this timepiece comes freshly serviced with all parts laid out by our professional watchmaker for all to see in the images above. Little to no other dealers do this and it’s a testament to full transparency here at Montre D’or. With the Cal.8541B inside running excellently as shown in the timegrapher reading above, just like it was when it left the factory nearly half a century ago.
