IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Spitfire IW387901 2019 [Preowned]
Overview
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Spitfire IW387901 is a striking tribute to one of aviation's most iconic aircraft—the legendary Supermarine Spitfire. This reference seamlessly blends the military functionality of wartime instrument watches with the precision of modern IWC watchmaking. The watch features a perfectly proportioned 41mm stainless steel case, finished with a classic matte texture that underscores its utilitarian origins while offering superb contemporary wearability.
Its distinctive matte black dial is both classic and highly legible, enhanced by luminous Arabic numerals and vintage-inspired propeller-shaped hands. The clean tri-compax chronograph layout and the day-date windows are both practical and visually balanced. A silver-toned chronograph seconds hand and crisp white print lend subtle contrast, while the soft-domed sapphire crystal—treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides—evokes the look of a classic cockpit instrument. The dial’s high-contrast layout reflects IWC’s long-standing dedication to aviation and tool-watch clarity.
What truly sets the IW387901 apart technically is the movement within: the IWC-manufactured Calibre 69380. This robust in-house automatic movement is a modern column-wheel chronograph with bi-directional pawl winding and a 46-hour power reserve. As a testament to its authentic pilot's watch heritage, the watch is fitted with a solid steel caseback that features a beautiful and detailed engraving of the iconic Spitfire plane, reinforcing its professional-grade capability.
Fitted with a durable and comfortable green textile canvas strap, the Spitfire Chronograph offers a rugged, military-inspired look that perfectly complements its aesthetic. Water-resistant to 60 meters and protected against magnetism by a soft-iron inner case, the IW387901 is built for adventure yet refined enough for everyday wear. For those who appreciate the romance of flight history, the mechanical prowess of a column-wheel chronograph, and classic field watch aesthetics, the Spitfire Chronograph delivers a compelling, all-encompassing package.
