IWC Yacht Club Jumbo R811AD Cal.8541B 36.0mm 1968

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 occurrence and occur in several other brands like Rolex.

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 iconic C.8541B Pellaton winding movement inside running excellently as shown in the timegrapher reading above, just like it was when it left the factory nearly half a century ago.
