DESCRIPTION
Down-to-earth high-flyer
Spitfire Chronograph
Since its initial launch in 2006, the Spitfire Chronograph from IWC Schaffhausen has enjoyed increasing popularity. Now, with its slate-coloured dial, it has an attractive new face and, with the IWC-manufactured 89365 calibre, a drive that leaves nothing to be desired.
Back in the1930s, when the Spitfire was first designed, the Royal Air Force was something of a social institution: a club for young bloods from good families who dressed with style and elegance and cut a dashing figure at the endless rounds of events they attended. Classical elegance and technological development are also the hallmarks of the new Spitfire Chronograph Pilot’s Watch models. For the first time ever, IWC is releasing a regular Spitfire Chronograph in an18-carat red gold case. References 387802 and 387804 are available in stainless steel.

Thanks to the sun-pattern finish, the way in which light is reflected from the slate-coloured dial is especially vibrant.
