How much do I like the IWC Ingenieur 866 "Military"? I tell you: a looooooot! Why? Well, first.....
..... they are super nice with the pilot inspired dial ...... second, the IWC Ingenieur 866 is in itself a super rare and valuable watch with a great movement ....... it is being said that only 6 to 12 of these prototype like 866 "military" versions were ...
You never fail to amaze with your collection :)
And I have to say I am truly impressed with IWC having had a representative in Angola in 1971!
Thanks KMII, I appreciate your feedback! And I agree with you, regarding the rep.office. I own a second one of these.....
.... and the other one was actually shipped on April 24, 1970 to: ...... J Luiz de Carvalho in Benguela (Angola). Cheers, HSTE

What kind of luminous material from the 1970s could have remained white for over 40 years? Or are the dial and hands later replacements. I am curious. Regards, Tony C.
