The 34mm stainless steel case is classically proportioned, wearing beautifully on the wrist today while staying true to its 1960s roots. A clean silver dial with slim baton hour markers keeps things understated and highly legible, exactly what Schaffhausen did best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTurn it over and the details continue. The screw-down case back opens to reveal an inner case back signed R810, a mark of IWC's thoughtful construction, while the IWC-signed (the famous IWC fish) crown adds a neat finishing touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside beats the highly respected calibre C89, a manual-wind movement famed for its robustness and from the same family that powered the legendary Mark XI pilot's watch.
