Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Spitfire.
Ref. 3879: If you read IWC as India, Whiskey,
Charlie, you probably have kerosene flowing
through your veins – and you need a watch that’s
been developed specially for the cockpit. The
design of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Spitfire
was inspired by the classic instrument look of

watches such as the Mark XI. Our first Pilot’s
Chronograph with a reduced 41-millimetre diam-
eter is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69380
calibre. The bronze case, olive green dial and
brown calfskin strap are reminders of a time
when flying was still the privilege of a bold and
fearless few.
