This is an Worldwide Watch Co costume watch from 1960, that includes a sublime 36 mm diameter 18K pink gold case with distinctive “shark fin” lugs.
The ivory-colored dial is barely curved and has utilized pink gold Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, 9 — with two baton hour indices in between every numeral. The outer chapter ring options pink gold dots. Pink gold lance-shaped hour and minute arms point out the time together with a baton-shaped central second hand. “Worldwide Watch Co.” is printed in black on the dial in a classic cursive font at twelve.
Setting the time and winding of the motion is managed by the flat, ridged, 18K pink gold crown. The caseback is strong, curved, polished, and unsigned. The in-house IWC Schaffhausen manufactured manually wound caliber 89 motion — which was utilized in a number of Nineteen Fifties and Sixties classic IWC timepieces – powers this beautiful time-only classic costume watch.
