    It's a caliber 83 from 1944 or 1945. A very beautiful and classy dresswatch. Congratulations!

    There's a number missing in Bill's input for the case number. The case is also from the 1940ies.

    With the fact that this is IWC calatrava Cal83 - i tried to find similar watches, but virtually all Cal83 IWC are with arab numbers and indices, but i could't find Roman dial at all. Any idea why this cal doesn't come with Roman numbers?

    Again thank you
