Titanium And Bronze IWC Big Pilot's Watch 43 Spitfire

Inspired by the classic functional design of “mil-spec” military-spec timepieces, C IWC presents the new Spitfire Large Pilot’s Watch 43. One has a titanium case and a black dial, while the other has a bronze case with an army green dial. Both watches feature a titanium caseback engraved with the classic Spitfire pattern, while a soft iron inner case protects the movement from the effects of magnetic fields https://www.gdwatchclone.ru/shop/category/iwc-watches/.

The case, case back and crown of the IWC Big Pilot's Watch 43 Spitfire (Model: IW329701) are made of lightweight and strong grade 5 titanium. The components have been carefully polished and sandblasted successively, resulting in a delicate dark grey matt effect. The design of the black dial is inspired by the classic observation watches in history. The minute and second scales are printed on the outer ring in white, and the hour scale is printed on the inner ring in gray, making it more compact and understated. This traditional layout style makes it easier for pilots and navigators to read minutes and seconds at a glance, providing critical information for tasks such as celestial navigation in visual flight. The distinctive military watch-inspired design is also reflected on the brown calfskin strap with contrast stitching.
