Bearing in mind IWC Schaffhausens focus on Pilots Watches in 2017, some eyebrows may be raised when the brand again turns to this collection at SIHH 2019. However, with the 80th anniversary of the start of the Second World War being remembered next year, plus IWC Pilot's Replica Watches close affinity to aviation-themed timepieces, the choice to introduce a set of new watches that take inspiration from the iconic Spitfire one of the greatest emblems of courage, fortitude and heroism during wartime is less than surprising.
With more than eight decades experience in manufacturing pilots watches, already including some dedicated to the Spitfire, IWCs links to aviation are unequivocal, with CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr saying: The Spitfire symbolises mans dream of flying. She is a masterpiece of engineering, who was born ahead of her time and who continues to dazzle with her iconic design. We were instantly captivated by the ambitious idea of flying this aircraft around the world and we are excited to be able to help this adventure along its way.
The first quartet of watches were revealed at the Goodwood estate in the south of England home to Goodwood Aviation, which, as well as an aerodrome, provides various aircraft maintenance services on 5 December and give a delicious taste of things to come in 2019 with a contemporary twist being added to some of the brands most recognisable watches. A new dedicated Spitfire line with all pieces powered by IWC manufacture movements will be complemented by a fresh Top Gun line-up and special editions to the Le Petit Prince collection.
In the summer of 2019, a restored 1943 Spitfire with silver-chrome finish will leave London on a round-the-world flight covering 43,000km and 30 countries. The adventure was born from the imagination of Steve Boultbee-Brooks and Matt Jones, founders of the Boultbee Flight Academy, the worlds first Spitfire training school, with which IWC has established a long-term partnership.
To commemorate its involvement with the Silver Spitfire project, IWC has created a Big Pilots Watch Timezoner Spitfire Edition The Longest Flight. Available in a limited edition of 250 pieces, the watch combines the patented IWC Timezoner mechanism with an IWC manufacture movement in the Calibre 82000 family for the first time.

The self-winding 69380 features a classic column wheel design and a 46-hour power reserve. The case is in bronze and the complementary khaki-green dial shows stopped hours and minutes
Pilots Watch Double Chronograph Top Gun Ceratanium IWCs Top Gun watches have, since 2007, taken their name and inspiration from the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor Program of the US Navy, and have always been among the most technical of the IWC aviation watches in terms of materials such as titanium and ceramic.

As light and robust as titanium and with the scratch resistance of ceramic, it is corrosion resistant and matte black in colour, allowing a completely black watch including all watch components such as push-buttons and buckle to be achieved without the need for a coating. The self-winding Calibre 79230 provides a double chronograph with an integrated split-seconds hand and has a power reserve of 44 hours. The watch comes on a rubber strap with textile inlay.
