This IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Spitfire IW329702 channels IWC’s aviation lineage into a 43mm bronze case with a khaki green dial that reads like a cockpit instrument. The material choice gives the watch an immediate character that will deepen with wear as the bronze develops a unique patina. Hands and numerals are bold and luminous for instant legibility, while the cathedral-style hour hand and utilitarian layout retain the clarity pilots require.

Beneath the case sits IWC’s in-house calibre 82100, driven by the Pellaton winding system with ceramic components and offering a 60-hour power reserve. A soft-iron inner case shields the movement from magnetic fields and a titanium caseback adds strength without excess weight. The EasX-CHANGE system makes strap swaps simple, and the green buffalo-leather strap rounds out the look with vintage appeal. Practical at heart yet rich in character, the IW329702 balances historical authenticity with modern reliability, making it a pilot’s watch that wears as well in the city as it does in the sky.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
