Hello IWC Forum members. I inherited this watch recently and was wondering if
the forum could help identify it for me. The case/back no. is 1104455; the
mechanism no. is 1069103. The watch is 30mm in diameter and works.

Thank you for your prompt and informative reply. The watch seems to me to be
quite small.Is this a ladies watch, or were watch form factors smaller in the 40's?

This is the normal size for men during the 1940-ies.
Ladies watches were extremely small then.
