- Case and Dial Design
- The IWC Yacht-Club II ref. 4512 features a compact 29mm case constructed from stainless steel. It is distinguished by an octagonal bezel crafted from 18k yellow gold, which complements the two-tone aesthetic of the watch. The crown, situated on the right side of the case, is signed with the characteristic IWC fish symbol. The dial is rendered in a champagne color with a distinct linen texture. It is populated by applied linear hour markers, each tipped with cream-colored tritium luminous material. A date display window is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, while the Oman Khanjar crest is printed in green at the 9 o'clock position.
- Movement and Bracelet
- Internally, the watch is driven by a proprietary IWC quartz movement. The electronic components and brand signature are visible when the case back is removed. The source reports that the movement has been serviced and is equipped with a new battery to ensure accurate timekeeping. The watch is secured to the wrist by a semi-integrated H-link bracelet made from a combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. This bracelet is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 16 centimeters.
- Provenance and Authenticity
- The watch is reported to have a specific provenance, originating from the descendants of a former Tunisian government official. Due to the unique nature of the Khanjar dial, prospective collectors are advised to perform independent assessments regarding the authenticity of the printed emblem and the current condition of the electronic movement components. The serial number 227xxxx is consistent with production during the late 1970s.
