Pre‑Owned IWC Vintage 18ct Gold R1540 Tank Watch

A distinctive and elegant vintage piece, this IWC R1540 Tank from circa 1966–1967 showcases the brand’s refined approach to dress watch design. With its rectangular form and solid gold construction, it offers a timeless aesthetic with strong mid‑century character.

Presented in very good condition and offered as a watch only, this piece is ideal for collectors or those seeking a unique vintage dress watch.

The watch features a 18ct Squire gold case, giving it a bold presence while maintaining classic proportions. The champagne straight brushed dial is complemented by gold baton hour markers, delivering a clean and sophisticated look.

An acrylic crystal enhances its vintage charm, while the gold‑coloured push/pull crown remains true to the watch’s original design.

Fitted with a black leather strap, the watch wears comfortably and pairs effortlessly with both formal and smart attire.

Powered by the IWC Calibre 422 manual‑wind movement, this piece offers a traditional mechanical experience, appreciated for its craftsmanship and reliability.
