The history behind the IWC Yacht Club

The Yacht Club was created in 1967 as a sportier alternative to the Ingenieur series by the International Watch Company (IWC). Following the Yacht Club's instant popularity in 1976, the line expanded into a series of "Club" watches. This 36-mm stainless steel has a beautiful barrel-shaped case, also known as a C-Shaped case. The automatic in-house calibre 8541 is used by IWC in these timepieces which features a clever shock-absorption system.
