"Electronic"

Hello from Germany,

this is my first post - not my first IWC :)

I am looking for information about this "electronic". It works fine and had been to Wempe for a new battery because I didn't dare to open the case back. Number is 2058065.

Thank you,

Peter

Hi YC1811

Looks like a Vintage Automatic Watch Reference 1819 with Caliber 8541B

Should be around 1970-1980

Hello Andreas,

and thank you for your help. 
I had brought it to the AD and he simply put a new battery in 😁

If I hold it to my ear I can hear a buzzing sound. From what I found out it might be what is called in German a “Stimmgabel Werk“?

Best, Peter

Hello YC1811

I got the following information from an Insider.

I am wrong. The picture doesnt show a Reference 1819.

This is a Ref. 3402 in steel. The dial says "Electronic" - this indicates the caliber 150 tuning fork movement
