IWC Spitfire Chronograph IW387803
More actions
The IWC Spitfire Chronograph IW387803 is the 18k rose-gold execution of the Pilot's Watch Spitfire Chronograph, built around IWC's first in-house flyback chronograph movement, Calibre 89365, on sale since 2012. The 43 mm case houses a slate-grey ("Ardoise") sunray dial with white Arabic numerals, a triangle index at twelve borrowed from the wartime Mark XI, and a red-tipped date window at three, over a soft-iron inner case for antimagnetic protection. Calibre 89365 beats at 28,800 vph across 35 jewels with hacking seconds and a 68-hour reserve, roughly double the outgoing 7750-based Spitfire chronograph it replaced, and its flyback function resets and restarts the chronograph on a single push rather than needing a stop first. The rose-gold case and brown alligator strap make it the collection's dress option beside the steel and ceramic Top Gun executions. (Monochrome Watches)
