I need to check but,,,,
If I recall the 1876 isn't 42.5 mm --huge for that time-- but more likely 32.5 or 35mm. I could be wrong but I'll try to check.

Michael
I vaguely remembering it being 35 x 35mm
At the time I felt it was too small for me so I donated it to the Russell museum.
Terry definitely has more sense than I .

My recollection was it was only slightly bigger ..
...at 37mm square but not being certain I looked up the 1993 dealer book.

Who would've thunk?? -,) nt
My recollection was it was only slightly bigger ..
WOW, where could I find one of those for sale? Might be a little big but my wife would love it.
My recollection was it was only slightly bigger ..
Somehow i doubt it's 42.5mm with 18mm lugs (it would look prehistoric), might be a misprint. Looking at that the pic it certainly does'nt look two strap widths.
Quite interesting Cellar thank you (nt)
Very Nice IWC's & Tour!!..Thanks, cellar!...nt.
Thanks!
When reading the movement number, I immediately thought about Mark Levinsohn and his love for this movement. Thanks for providing more insight in this matter.
Kind regards,
Clemens
