    Halo. I have just bought this watch.
    Anyone have ideas on how to determine model name, year, etc.?
    Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
    Number movement: 1702050
    Number case back: 12139
    Cal: 421 ???

    Congratulations

    your watch is indeed a Cal 421 and according to the movement number 1702050
    was made in 1963.
    The case back **12139 is missing some digits, so I'm going to assume that the
    first 2 are the same as movement ie 1712139.

    The Date Your IWC app now gives a result that your case was made in 1964 and
    probably delivered up to 1966.

    What an interesting watch. It's seen a bit of polishing, but very nice.

    Thanks Mr. MARK FLEMINGER for your information.
    I search GG but found nothing about cal.421. Is it rare or just not good so
    they don't produce much?
    Have a nice day all. :D
