A timepiece that has now become a cult object. It delights with its clear, minimalist design and its beautiful, deep black dial. The dial design with crosshairs, the long, corn-yellow luminous markers, the bright orange seconds hand and the old-fashioned cursive script of the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" logo looks stunning. Add to that a PVD-coated, ultra-light aluminium case, which is in excellent condition.
In 1978 Swiss watch manufacturer IWC launched a series of watches in cooperation with Prof. F. A. Porsche.
