    Where and why would IWC engrave the names of these iconic watches from the 1970s? Note the misspelling 'YAGHT-CLUB'.
    There is no prize, just the satisfaction of participating and of knowing the right answer, which probably indicates you should get out more and "get a life:. :-))

    A hint...

    What did these 3 families had in common from the late 70s to the early 80s, apart from the cal. 85xx?

    The solution...

    It is a case back opener...

    Case back opener for the Aquatimer (812 and 816), Yacht Club (811) and Ingenieur (866)
