This 18ct IWC trench-style wristwatch stands out for its unusually refined execution, especially at a generous 34 mm—considerably larger than most military-era pieces. The articulated lugs are a hallmark of early IWC case design, engineered to let a solid gold case sit naturally on the wrist while preserving the clean, rounded profile of the period. Its enamel dial, with bold Arabic numerals and a neatly recessed sub-seconds register, reflects IWC’s focus on legibility and durability at a time when enamel was still the premium choice for crisp, permanent printing.
Powering the watch is IWC’s calibre 64T, a well-regarded early wristwatch movement known for its tidy layout, reliable train, and steady timekeeping. The 64T helped define IWC’s technical identity in the 1920s, combining robust construction with elegant finishing and a clear commitment to precision. Together, the 34 mm gold case, articulated lugs, enamel dial, and 64T movement form a coherent picture of IWC’s early wristwatch production—practical, beautifully made, and unmistakably Schaffhausen.

This calibre stands out for its screwed chaton jewels, a hallmark of early high-grade construction, paired with an unusual click-spring layout that gives a clean, positive action when wound. Adding to its character, the ratchet and winding wheels are mounted on a square - an immediately recognisable IWC detail that gives the movement a distinctive top-plate aesthetic.
