Catalogue Essay
- With an important heritage in creating some of the most iconic pilot’s wristwatches, IWC introduced their very first example in 1936 named the ‘Special Pilot’s Watch’. Featuring an oversized stainless steel case, it featured most notably a triangular index at 12 o’clock with large Arabic numerals and an oversized half-onion crown, an anti-magnetic escapement and luminescent material on the dial. With enlarged features, the watch was designed to be worn over the sleeve of a flying suit.

- Still known today for their pilot’s chronograph timepieces, the firm has released various iterations over the years due to its iconic success and its importance to the firm’s heritage. The present Pilot’s Watch Chronograph ref. IW377701 featuring a 43mm diameter stainless steel case is a perfect example of a modern-day pilot’s chronograph. With a day and date complication, its dial design retains its signature features such as the oversized Arabic numerals and its triangular index at 12 o’clock. Wonderfully executed, the modern iteration retains its true essence of a pilot’s chronograph wristwatch from the firm.

- Offered with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition, this IWC timepiece is a timeless classic that can be worn on any occasion.
