IWC IW326801 Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire SS Black Dial

Introduced at SIHH 2019, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire ref. IW326801 showcases IWC’s return to purist instrument design, drawing inspiration from the iconic Mark 11 navigation watch. Its 39 mm stainless steel case is matched with a striking black dial and a verdant green textile strap, evoking the cockpit environment of the historic Spitfire fighter—to which the engraved case back pays homage. Powering the watch is the in‑house calibre 32110, featuring a robust pawl-winding system, 72‑hour power reserve, and soft‑iron inner cage for magnetic protection—hallmarks that reinforce its technical pedigree. While straightforward, the inclusion of a date complication and dead‑beat seconds delivers utility without clutter. Though not a limited edition, this reference remains highly desirable for its blend of IWC’s movement expertise, clean heritage design, and pilot watch authenticity. The watch appeals to seasoned collectors who admire both functional elegance and in‑house engineering in a historically resonant package. Like New with IWC box and papers dated 2019.
