Hi, I'm new to IWC world... I have an IWC pocket watch: serial no.: 797907 On the movement it reads: 662253 H6 What does H6 mean? How do I know what is the caliber of my watch? How do I know the year of production? (I found on the internet that - accoring to the serial and movement no. - the production year should be 1915-1920, is it correct? Thanks a lot!
Your watch has a calibre 52, dating from the year 1917. You can find this out from the program "DateYourIWC" (one word), which you a find via Google. H6 refers to the approximate height of the movement (6mm).

Thanks once again for your quick answer. I tried DateYourIWC and it raised one more question: It says that the movement is from 1917, and the case from about 1923. What does it mean? Is 1917 the date of actual production or the date when a certain type started to be produced? Did they use for the watch in 1923 a movement that was 6 years old, or does it mean that my watch is made of a case and a movement that originally did not come as a single product? I hope my questions can be asked easily and thank you in advance for the answers...
