SPITFIRE WITH A NEW FACE

Classic elegance and technological development are the hallmarks of the new Spitfire Chronograph Pilot’s Watch models in 18-carat red gold and stainless steel. The surfaces of the case are polished until the watch is left with a luxurious high-gloss or silky matte finish. When the watch is rotated, the light falling onto the sun-pattern finish of the slate-coloured dial moves in circles. The dark colour of the dial and the date display in the form of an altimeter underscore the Spitfire’s classic instrument look. For the first time ever, the Spitfire Chronograph is equipped with the IWC-manufactured 89365-calibre. The subdial at “12 o’clock” shows the recorded minutes while the seconds can be read off from the central hand. Thanks to the flyback function, an ongoing time measurement can be “deleted” and a new one started without an intermediate stop. The red gold model has a brown alligator leather strap with a pin buckle. The stainless steel model is available either with a brown alligator leather strap and folding clasp or with the newly developed stainless-steel bracelet featuring a fine-adjustment clasp that permits the length to be modified as desired.
