IWC IW326801 Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire SS Black Dial

Introduced at SIHH in 2019, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire ref. IW326801 is a modern yet historically grounded pilot’s instrument, drawing its lineage from the legendary Mark 11 navigation watch. The 39 mm stainless steel case, measuring a slender 10.8 mm in thickness, houses the in‑house IWC calibre 32110, a robust automatic movement with a 72‑hour power reserve and soft‑iron inner case for magnetic protection. The matte black dial, rendered in high‑contrast white Arabic numerals and luminous lance hands, offers exceptional legibility, while the date complication at 3 o’clock adds subtle utility without clutter. The green textile strap evokes the cockpit environment of the Spitfire aircraft, reinforcing the aviation narrative. Though not a limited edition, its combination of heritage design, manufacture movement, and refined proportions makes it exceptionally desirable among collectors seeking authenticity and technical substance. The watch’s restrained dimensions and purposeful aesthetic ensure both daily wearability and collector appeal. Like New with IWC box and papers dated 2021.
