IWC (International Watch Company) 69's Yacht Club / Cal.854B
Introducing the IWC "Yacht Club" made in 1969 .
As its name suggests, the Yacht Club is a sports watch made for yachtsmen.
The case is robust and waterproof with a double shock-resistant structure, and is equipped with IWC 's proprietary Pellaton automatic movement.
It was packed with the latest technology that IWC had at the time, and its practicality, allowing it to be used in harsh environments, has earned it high praise around the world, making it one of IWC 's most representative models.
The IWC Yacht Club is housed in a C- line case designed by the genius watch designer, Gerald Genta.
The model we are introducing this time is a non-date model without a calendar function.
The non-date model is highly rare due to the limited production numbers.
The beauty of the case design and the lack of a date display give the dial a clean look, making it reminiscent of a dress watch, but what's interesting is that it's actually a sports model designed for use by yachtsmen.
The dial is a sunburst silver dial with pencil hands and upright bar indexes, giving it a simple structure with excellent visibility.
Black onyx is used for the center of the hands and indexes, improving the visibility of the dial while also giving the watch a more refined appearance.
The Yacht Club was meticulously designed without placing emphasis on either design or practicality.
Although it is a sports model, it is a masterpiece watch that exudes elegance that is not inferior to a dress watch.
The movement is equipped with " Cal.854B " with hack function.
It uses the Pellaton automatic winding system, developed exclusively by IWC , which allows the mainspring to be wound with minimal wrist movement, preventing the watch from stopping due to insufficient winding.
This is a superior movement with stable operation and excellent precision.
Size: height: 43.2mm , width: 39.3mm , thickness: 11mm , weight: 49g .
The side lines of the C -line case are designed to fit the shape of the wrist, so the edges of the case do not dig into your wrist when worn. It is designed to be both beautiful and comfortable to wear.
The simple design can be used in a variety of situations, from business to casual.
The impression can change dramatically just by changing the belt, so you can match a single belt with a wide range of outfits, such as using a leather belt with a suit or jacket, and switching to a nylon bend belt when pairing with a shirt or high-tech wear.
The condition is that there are scratches on the back cover, but it does not affect use.
The edges of the case itself are still intact and there are no noticeable scratches.
The dial is free of wear and corrosion and maintains the beautiful condition it was in at the time.
The movement is free of rust or other damage and runs smoothly.
The hack function also works without any problems.

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.
When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand them over to you when you place your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul them (hereafter referred to as OH) and deliver them to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1 to 2 months.)
A professional craftsman with first-class watch repair technician qualifications will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as the internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which shows what kind of overhaul was performed, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and maintained.
Of course, due to the nature of the product itself being a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we take this approach so that you can enjoy the original performance of the watch and use it with peace of mind in the future.
When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will still repair the product for a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
