The Watch
.
The IWC GST Chronograph line was first on the scene in the early 2000s, the GST stands for ‘Gold, Steel, and Titanium’ and had a short but very sweet lifespan. This range of watches reflected the brand's commitment to complicated watchmaking with a refreshing take on the chronograph.
.
Here we have the Steel version, which was retailed at a higher price than the Titanium. The GST Chronographs from the early 2000s represent a bygone era at IWC. The design language is clean, straightforward and utilitarian. It looks absolutely fantastic on the Wrist and is suitable for all occasions.
This particular IWC GST comes with the guarantee card and an IWC Box.
