Dear Heiko, A fabulous watch and a strong disagreement from this side when you say "an ordinary cal. 67 work". Cal.67 has proven to be one of the most successful movements ever produced by IWC and of course you know this. Cal 67 was the selected caliber for military chronometer deck watches in the German Navy from 1940-1966. And as you know in the 1960-ties the electric and quartz timepieces had entered the world of time keeping. Still the German Navy considered : if the power on our vessels ceases, if any time piece on board could be jammed by magnetic, temperature, water or other bad influences, we have that one time keeper on board that will never fail : our IWC cal. 67 observation pocket watch. Kind regards, Adrian, (alwaysiwc).

A real beauty, a great find and a superb picture. An outstanding result of HEBE photo design!:) Congratulations Heiko. But in the context with "an ordinary cal. 67 work" I have to go with Adrian. ;-)
Thanks
