Vintage IWC Yacht Club in
blue dial. This Yacht Club, technically reference 1811 AD, features a robust
all-steel case with screwed back and oversized water resistant crown.
Introduced at the Basel Fair
in 1967, the Yacht Club was IWC’s attempt to create an all-weather,
dressy-casual watch that the owner could wear in all environments. It
represented a departure from the military pieces that the manufacture produced
during and just following World War II, or the Aquatimer, the brand’s first
dive watch that was released in 1967. IWC intended the Yacht Club to inhabit a
middle ground between the two—still water resistant, still robust, but elegant
enough to pass muster at a yacht club, for instance.
I have been a look out for
for IWC Yatch club in blue dial for a while. Previously, I have one IWC
automatic in blue dial but I have sold it to a friend...
