Yacht club, one of the representative models of IWC vintage.

Introduced in 1967, it was considered a sportier model than the professional "Ingenieur".

Currently, it belongs to the sports watch as one of the Portugieser lines.

The vintage yacht club has an attractive size that is easy to use, and a simple design that does not make you feel uncomfortable in any style or situation.

The case design of this yacht club is Gerald Genta.

The design, which is similar to Omega's C-line case and does not get caught in the shirt, gives you a unique "luster" and "sex appeal" while scraping off unnecessary things.

The crown is a fish-marked crown that indicates the waterproof case at that time.

The dial is a blue dial with a sunray finish. Because it is non-date, it looks very simple.

There are some changes over time near the luminous paint, but the overall impression is that the condition is maintained.

Luminous paint is still tritium on both hands and dial.

The mounted movement is Cal.854B, which is self-winding. An improved version of Cal.854.

The mainspring is wound up efficiently, and it features a highly reliable Pellaton type mechanism because it has few failures even in vintage.

The Pellaton type is a self-winding mechanism developed by the watchmaker Albert Pellaton, who was the design manager of IWC in the 1950s.

From the first developed Cal.85 to the final Cal.854, the basic design is the final form of the machine, which is almost as complete.

Overhauled at Matsuno Clock Shop. At the time of overhaul, the windshield is replaced and light polished.

1 year warranty.
