The Supermarine Spitfire stands confidently among the fighter aircraft greats along with the F-16 Falcon, the P-51 Mustang and the A10 Thunderbolt II.
Built as a high-performing, versatile aircraft, the British single-seat fighter became the backbone of the Royal Air Force’s fighter force during World War II. The Spitfire represented aviation prowess, design innovation and engineering excellence; it’s no wonder why IWC chose to name an entire collection after the famed fighter plane.
The Spitfire collection largely leans into vintage inspired aesthetics and highlights the more practical design features that seamlessly translate out of the cockpit to the more casual-wearing wrists of civilians.
This particular example, a Reference IW326802, features a 39mm bronze case, a signed crown, sapphire crystal and a matte green dial that houses a set of printed ‘Arabic’ indices, an ‘orientation’ triangle at 12 o’clock, a date window at 3 o’clock and a luminous ‘sword’ handset.
Fitted to a signed brown leather strap with a signed bronze pin buckle, this piece is powered by IWC’s self-winding Calibre 32110 movement. In unworn, brand-new condition, this is the perfect opportunity to snag a fun execution of IWC's best-selling Pilot’s Watch for an incredible value!
