The vintage dive watch is a masterpiece of horological engineering. Not all sporty watches need to be gargantuan. They can be sleek and seductive. There is admittedly a fine line between polished and brash when it comes to a gold watch on a gold bracelet. And so, this is where size matters. Anything larger and some might say you're stuck in a 1980s time warp. Here, a deliberately sleek IWC implies restraint but a refusal to be entirely anodyne. At the highest-end price spectrum, we have the SLA067, which is a lot like the SLA065. Measuring 41.3mm wide and 13.1mm tall the watch has a striped dial with alternating sandy black and smooth finished textured and is powered by the Calibre 8L35 with 50 hours of power reserve. The SLA067 will set you back a whopping $3,100 to get one of the 600 limited edition pieces.
