The silver-plated dial, blue hands, and appliqués add an elegant touch to the watch. Its redesigned case construction, with a thinner casing ring and box-glass sapphire crystals on both sides, exudes sophistication.

About IWC Schaffhausen

IJL is an Authorized IWC Schaffhausen Dealer

Founded in 1868 by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones, IWC Schaffhausen was born from a visionary dream to combine advanced American manufacturing techniques with world-renowned Swiss craftsmanship. Located in north-eastern Switzerland on the banks of the River Rhine, the manufacture is defined by its motto, "Probus Scafusia"—meaning "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen." IWC is a global leader in professional pilot’s watches and is equally celebrated for the nautical elegance of the Portugieser collection. A pioneer in high-tech materials, the brand was the first to introduce titanium and ceramic into watchmaking, a tradition that continues today with their proprietary Ceratanium®. From the anti-magnetic Ingenieur to the adventure-ready Aquatimer, IWC timepieces follow a "form follows function" philosophy, blending sophisticated horological complications with a robust, utilitarian aesthetic. At IJL, we are proud to offer this storied brand, where technical mastery meets timeless design for those who value precision-engineered luxury.
