This is a beautiful International timepiece from the late 1940s, featuring a Cal.89 movement and a 35mm stainless steel case with a Lombard design. The simple and timeless design evokes the 1960s, with its long bar indexes extending from the outer rim to the center, alpha hands, and long and large round-shaped lugs, showcasing a unique construction and taste that differs from later models. The watch is in excellent condition, with a natural and one-owner style that doesn't give off the impression of dial cleaning or case polishing. It is equipped with the renowned center second movement, Cal.89, representing International's finest craftsmanship.
