{"product_id":"iwc-calatrava-anti-magnetique-in-stainless-steel","title":"IWC Calatrava Anti-Magnétique in stainless steel","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the late 1930s and early 1940s, several Swiss manufactures converged on the same formal proposition: a round steel case of around 31mm, a clean dial, a small seconds subdial, and a manually wound movement of genuine quality. Patek Philippe's reference 96 is the most celebrated expression of this ideal — and the IWC produced here is its spiritual twin, sharing the same proportions, the same visual philosophy, and the same sense that a watch needs nothing beyond what it already has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat sets this IWC apart from its Genevan counterpart is a handful of technical details that reward attention. The anti-magnetic designation reflects a specific engineering choice: a soft iron inner case shielding the movement from magnetic fields, a practical concern in an era of electrical equipment and industrial environments. The screwed caseback adds water resistance and structural integrity. Together they give this dress watch the constitution of a tool watch, without altering its appearance by a single millimetre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cream dial has developed a warm, even patina entirely consistent with its age. Arabic numerals, rather than the applied indices that would become standard, give it a slightly more contemporary graphic character than the Patek 96, and one that reads with immediate clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor the collector who admires the 96 but finds the current market for signed Patek steel unworkable, this IWC makes a genuinely compelling case on its own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabiwatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58877634019592,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3477\/8632\/files\/DSC07412.jpg?v=1790360101","url":"https:\/\/sabiwatches.com\/products\/iwc-calatrava-anti-magnetique-in-stainless-steel","provider":"Sabiwatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
