    Hello!
    I recently purchased a vintage IWC for my boyfriend for his birthday.

    Not sure how to post photos on this forum...?
    Here's the info I have on it:
    Circa 1952, Stainless, manual
    Case measures 35mm w/o crown
    Case serial #1250584
    Caliber 88
    Movement #1254304

    Any idea on series?
    I've been reasearching. Maybe Hermit Calatrava?
    Any information would so appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Karamia
    Congratulations on the Cal 88! It's a fine Caliber and is very reliable and tough as well. It was manufactured from 1946 - 1964.

    This series is simply known as Caliber 88 and there is no further description. A reference number may be found on the inside caseback to identify it further, but this not always the case.
