The Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Spitfire features a military aesthetic with a bronze case and crown and a military green dial and gold-plated hands.
The case and crown are made of bronze, while the case back is made of titanium. The bronze used by IWC contains aluminium and iron as well as copper. This special composition makes the alloy around 50 per cent harder than conventional bronze. The IWC-manufactured 82100 calibre works inside the case. The Pellaton winding mechanism, reinforced with ceramic components, builds up a power reserve of 60 hours. An inner cage made of soft iron protects the movement from the effects of magnetic fields.
Pilot's Watches all models
With a clear focus on technology and development, the Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been producing timepieces of lasting value since 1868.
In the new production facility, the Schaffhauser Uhrenmanufaktur manufactures factory parts and production facilities on an area of 13,500 square meters
and enclosures under one roof - a milestone in the company's over 150 year history. For example, the entire added value from the raw material through the individual parts of the work to the finished manufacture movement is now arranged on a floor in a logical order.
The Portuguese
This very successful timepiece, produced since the mid-30s of the last century, fell out of the usual Art Deco style. While at that time mainly smaller and slimmer wristwatches were available on the market, two Portuguese businessmen turned to the watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen to commission a traditional, large wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch, for which the Schaffhausen-based company is world-famous. The combination of the Savonette pocket watch calibre 74 with a case suitable for wristwatches set the stylistic and technical standard for all subsequent watches in the Portuguese series.
The easy-to-read and clearly structured dial skilfully continues the design language of IWC's Portuguese customers known since the 1930s and complements it with another timeless piece of jewellery.
