2020 IWC Pilot’s Chronograph Spitfire 41mm IW387901
Here we have a 2020 IWC Pilot’s Chronograph Spitfire IW387901. Featuring a 41mm satin-brushed stainless steel case with a soft-iron inner case that protects the watch from magnetic fields, a subtle curve of the case leads to flowing chamfered tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 51.5mm with a case thickness of 15mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right, we have the chronograph pushers, and in the centre, a screw-down, signed crown. The chamfered edges of the smooth bezel hold a convex AR-coated sapphire crystal on both sides. A matte black dial features a precisely executed outer minute track, with Arabic numerals and baton indexes marking the hours. Large Arabic numerals lie just underneath, coated in Super-LumiNova with the triangle and pips at 12 o’clock, a characteristic seen on many pilot timepieces. At 3 o’clock, a day/date window. The chronograph consists of a 30-minute register at 12 o’clock, a 60-second register at 6 o’clock, and a 12-hour register at 9 o’clock, each with a concentric circular pattern. Elegant sword hands coated in Old-Radium Super-LumiNova, complemented by a white tapered chronograph hand at 3 o’clock, and the IWC motif completes this military-inspired chronograph. On the reverse, a screw-down case back, with the polished Spitfire in the centre, inside an automatic IWC Cal. 69380, 33 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, based on the ETA 7750 movement, modified by IWC to their specifications. It comes paired with two 20mm IWC straps (one new, one used) with a signed buckle, and the watch also includes its IWC presentation box and papers.
