I wonder how come this one doesn't have SWISS at the bottom... also i've never seen a red seconds hand like this on any of the cal 89 models.

hello, never saw one like this
I found some roman numeral dials like this but yeah... the hands do not look original
do you know if that red second hand exists in any other watch?
Yes, but in more recent models
100% redone dial. The font is rather sloppy and the red hand is defenitly not original to the watch
Original Cal 89 dress watches from the late 50s almost always had a crisp "SWISS" or "SWISS MADE" right below the 6 o'clock marker, so a blank lower dial is usually a dead giveaway for a redial. Plus, IWC never put a bright red seconds hand on these classic dress models—that was strictly steel, gold, or blued. Someone definitely swapped or painted that hand later on.
