Black dial for pocketwatches

Have you ever heard of IWC pocket watches with a black dial?
Although I know that there are thousands of variations in dials,I never saw a black one mounted in a pocketwatch in the official IWC literature.However,recently at a watch fair I observed one of which one could swear that it was not a fake.But do they really exist?Maybe The Ingenieur SL Pocket watch is an exception.

Black dial for pocketwatches

Hi Adrian,
yes I think it MAYBE possible, esp. in the field of military PW's.
Better lookup in the book "the expert of military PW'S" in Germany: Konrad Knirim

Black dial for pocketwatches

Are the numerals luminized with radium?

I was wondering if you had ever pointed a Geiger counter at the dial?

Cheers from the cellar

I've seen several

A dealer in Spain had a Cal. 67 if I recall about 6 months ago. I've seen military ones, too. And I've seen some civilian black dial IWC pocket watches like the black dial Portuguese wristwatch that IWC sometimes shows in catalogs, etc.
