IWC Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Spitfire
The IWC Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Spitfire is a wristwatch that revives the dream of flying that humanity has always had. This dream inspired the designers at IWC to create a beautiful timepiece. On this nostalgically sophisticated wristwatch, the date is displayed in American format, so the month comes before the day. In addition, the day of the week is given in third place. The length of the different months is taken into account by the modern and highly developed caliber 52850. The clock only has to be reset by hand once a year, namely at the end of February.
Spitfire and the dream of flying
The Spitfire is another inspiration from human history that led to a new design by IWC. The name Spitfire comes from the English fighter pilot Supermarine Spitfire. At the time, it was a pioneer in the field of aerodynamics. The Spitfire collection from IWC combines the charm of a unique aircraft with modern 21st century watchmaking technology. One of the features that can clearly be traced back to the pilot's watch design is the dial in an Ardoise color. The color of the cases of the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Spitfire matches perfectly, regardless of whether they are made of stainless steel or 18-carat red gold. In addition, these noble metals give the watch a resilience that only pilots can appreciate.
Technology with unique modern features
The sapphire crystal back of the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Spitfire allows a view of the caliber 52850, which is located inside the watch. It contains two spring barrels, which are responsible for a particularly high torque and ensure the calendar function. The power reserve is a full seven days. 36 jewels and several bridges and plates with decorative cuts are just a small part of the sophisticated technology built into the 52850 caliber.
