IWC, Cal. 83 powered, rare black luminous dial, stainless steel, water-resistant, Calatrava bezel, circa 1940s.
The Calatrava style screw back water resistant case is small in size but weighty in construction, and combined with the black luminous dial that has aged well, it is a gem with a wonderful taste reminiscent of military watches. It is a precious co-branded model with the long-established Swiss watch jeweler "TURLER". The dial and mechanism are marked with "INCA", making it a rare item.
