As the war drew to a close, the mindset in watchmaking shifted toward optimism and innovation. The Cal.89 series dress watch was born in 1946 and remained in production for nearly three decades. While many mid-century dress watches typically featured cases ranging from 31–34 mm (with anything above 35 mm often dubbed a “Jumbo”), these Cal.89 models were ahead of their time, most commonly measuring between 35 and 36.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe present example dates back to the very beginning of the model's production in 1948. It features a 36 mm stepped case in full 18k yellow gold and beautiful “spider” lugs that still hint at Art Deco design. The dial has aged to a gorgeous creamy hue with an even patina, beautifully captured by Jake. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56665979388290,"sku":null,"price":3295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/9201\/0882\/files\/IWC18KYELLOWGOLDCAL.89_CALATRAVA.jpg?v=1771675460","url":"https:\/\/falco-watches.com\/products\/iwc-18k-yellow-gold-cal-89-calatrava-3","provider":"Falco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
