The IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph descends from the 1994 Fliegerchronograph, references 3705 and 3706, a mechanical pilot's chronograph that established the modern Pilot's Watch line's instrument-dial look: pump pushers, a triangle-and-dot twelve-o'clock index associated with the post-war Mark XI, and a case built around the Valjoux 7750-based movement. Reference 3706 cased the movement in steel; the ceramic-cased 3705 became the Top Gun line's forerunner. IWC has kept a steel Pilot's Watch Chronograph in continuous production since, updating the case and movement generation while preserving the instrument dial. (IWC; SJX)
On-screen identification
Deployant's survey of Kevin Spacey's on-screen IWC wardrobe as Frank Underwood in House of Cards (2013) names a Pilot's Watch Chronograph among his rotation, a fourth distinct IWC beyond the Portofino Automatic, Portugieser Chronograph, and Portuguese 7 Day Power Reserve already cataloged for the character, though the source gives no reference to narrow the generation.
