SUMMARY

IWC’s rich history in aviation inspired the launch of the Big Pilot’s watch in 2002, with the model line becoming the archetypal watch in the company’s catalogue. This particular Big Pilot is part of the recently introduced and slightly revised 43mm collection. The ref. IW329701 Spitfire was launched in 2021 and is finished in full titanium with a ‘Type B’ dial. This layout was used in the second world war by pilots, providing clear information and decreasing the risk of reading the time incorrectly. The hands and dial feature ecru-coloured luminescence, evoking the look of aged tritium from vintage examples. Behind the titanium case back beats the IWC calibre 82100 which is equipped with a 60-hour power reserve.
