An outstanding and rare example from IWC’s famed Yacht Club line, this R811AD from 1968 captures the brand’s engineering prowess and timeless design in a robust yet elegant C-shaped true Jumbo 36.0mm size case. Making the perfect unique watch for everyday wear that helps you stand out from the crowd with it’s uniqueness. Not to mention this IWC comes with a rare 'T Swiss T" labled dial that doesnt have Tritium. Made for the Japanese market where Tritium was banned for a short time during that period, these dials are a very rare occurance and occur in several other brands like Rolex.
Recently serviced and in immaculate condition, this watch is powered by IWC’s legendary Caliber 8541, a highly respected automatic movement with a unique Pellaton winding system. Additionally, it features a stunning sunburst dial paired with distinctive black/tritium hands and indices. Creating a marvelous light show on your wrist in the right lighting.
