IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN has manufactured numerous military-spec watches for different branches of the British legions - the 'Big Pilot's Spitfire' reflects that aspect of the house's history, in terms of both rugged aesthetic and technical reliability, legibility and precision. This reference features the striking conical crown in an ergonomic 43-millimetre titanium case, which is both polished and then sandblasted. The blue dial is inspired by historical observation watches, with the hands, numerals and indices placed for clear and instant reading. Inside is the in-house 82100 calibre, while a soft-iron inner case protects the movement from the effects of magnetic fields.
