About this watch

IWC Schaffhausen 'Cushion Case' cal 8541 36mm circa 1960s Case & Bracelet The case presents in good, honest, unpolished condition. Original brushed surfaces are intact across the bezel and flanks, with the factory bevel still crisp at the perimeter. Hairline scratches are visible throughout, consistent with regular period wear and entirely in keeping with an unrestored example of this age. No evidence of over-polishing, rounded edges, or loss of case geometry. The Milanese mesh bracelet is in great condition, with a clean, even weave, good flexibility, and no kinking, stretching, or flattening through the section that sits beneath the wrist. The acrylic crystal shows scratches across the surface. These are cosmetic only and can be substantially reduced with polishing, or the crystal replaced outright at minimal cost should the next owner prefer. Dial & Hands Dial and hands are in good condition, presenting original and unrestored with even tone throughout.
