Since 1868 Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been creating masterpieces of haute horlogerie that combine precision engineering with exclusive design. Over the years, their straightforward, no-nonsense style has appealed to adventurers far and wide—especially pilots.

A fabulous combination of expert craftsmanship and sporty precision make this Spitfire Pilot piece by IWC a winner in every regard. Its sleek minimalist stylings make it a versatile choice for any occasion—work or play.

Approaching the handsome silver-toned dial we encounter luminescent hands as well as applied silvered Arabic markers. Look for handy minute markers upon the outer edge of the dial. 

A watch of many talents, at 3 o’clock we have conveniently placed day and date windows that are easy to read.

The small seconds window at 9 offers you a stopping function that comes in handy when timing shorter events. Chronograph functions include a center arm, a 30-minute counter at 12, and a 12-hour counter at 6.

The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 42 mm in diameter, 14.7 mm in height and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a stainless steel folding buckle. The solid case back is screwed down, as is the winding crown. Additional features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a 60 m / 6 atm water resistance.

As a self-winding automatic watch, IWC’s 79320 caliber—with 44 hours of power—can be found beating at the heart of this magnificent machine.

From its reputation for accuracy and precision to its effortless elegance, we believe this IWC Spitfire Pilot Chronograph will make an essential addition to your collection.
