IWCPilot's WatchesModel No: IW371806

For those who admire IWC for its precise tool watches, especially the pilot ones, this Spitfire offers an impressive combination of the maison’s signature aesthetics and its contemporary watchmaking art. This Ref. IW371806 is automatic, 44mm wide with a round stainless steel case, 17.1mm thick, and 60 metres water resistant. A brushed finish is found throughout the case except for the polished bevelled edges. In a similar vein, the dial carries a contrast of textures featuring a brushed sunburst finish on the centre panel which is a bit stepped up compared to the outer hour track which is ribbed. The Arabic numerals are applied meticulously and are luminous akin to the well-shaped hands. The sub-registers are also contrasting in hues, set up in a vertical configuration as the day and date aperture occupies the three o’clock position.

This reference is equipped with a split-seconds mechanism or the rattrapante complication and comes with an additional red-hued chronograph hand. The complicated double chronograph function is made possible with the highly-precise IWC calibre 79230. It is based on the celebrated ETA 7750 with a 21600 bph frequency and a 44-hour power reserve. The brown leather strap pairs well with the case and settles most effortlessly on the wrist.

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.
