Hi
I just inherited and am now the proud owner of this gorgeous IWC Turler watch. I think that it is from the 1970's but that is all I know about it.
I would be so grateful if somebody could help me to find out a little more about it.
I will also have to get it serviced as it is a wind up watch and stops after a few hours. I don't want to damage it.
Hope you can help me find out a little more about it (and should I get it insured?)
Many thanks
Gary
You have inherited a beautiful watch complete with box and a wonderful memory.
Your watch is either a Cal 89 or more likely a Cal 403 from early 70s.
Without seeing the movement I can't tel You which one. The reference will be stamped on the inside caseback. These are remarcably reliable and robust movements and will certainly benefit from a COR (Clean Oil Regulate) service.
You could send it to IWC AD for this or a watchmaker experienced with these movements.
For more information on TURLER, tap the MADNIFYING GLASS on the top right corner and launch a search from there.
The watch has a reference or model number of 2403 as shown in the 1972 catalogue. I'm fairly sure it has a calibre 403 movement.
Good to see it with its original packaging.
Cheers from the cellar
Dear Mark and Cellar
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell my about my watch.
I am absolutely thrilled to know a little bit more about it.
It will be treasured and I will certainly make sure it gets a COR services as it works but stops after a few hours and I don't want to to damage any of the mechanisms.
Armed with the bit of information I have now, I can do some research to find out even more about the watch.
Thank you again. It means a lot to me.
Kind regards
Gary
