Probably one of my most comprehensive "full sets": the IWC Ocean "Bund" ref. 3529
And this entire set is in NOS condition.
IWC had produced 5 versions for the German Navy:
- ref. 3509 with automatic movement for the combat divers
- ref. 3529 with automatic movement for the combat divers
- ref. 3314 with quartz movement for the combat divers
- ref. 3319 with quartz movement for the general divers
- ref. 3519 "AMAG" with a completely a-magnetic automatic movement for the anti mine divers
All These "Bund" versions are fairly rare, particularly the 3519 which had only been produced in 50 pieces.
Cheers, HSTE

Very nice set my friend!
There's a sixth reference, ref. 3501, which uses the larger cal. 375 automatic movement. The cal. 375 is 28 mm Ø while the cals. 3752, 37521, and 3755AM used in the refs. 3509, 3529, and 3519, respectively are all 25.6 mm Ø. The 3509 and 3529 eventually r...
