Founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, IWC has built its reputation on technical precision and understated elegance — a combination that finds its purest expression in the Pilot's Watch collection. The Spitfire line pays direct tribute to the legendary Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft of World War II, with a design philosophy rooted in the functional instrument watches IWC produced for the Royal Air Force from 1948 onward.

The IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire, reference IW326803, is a well-executed 39 mm stainless steel pilot watch with a beautifully legible matte black dial featuring bold Arabic numerals, faux-patina luminescent hands — a period-correct detail that gives the dial genuine vintage charm — and a date display at 3 o'clock. A soft-iron inner case provides effective protection against magnetic fields, staying true to the original instrument watch brief. At its heart beats the IWC-manufactured Calibre 32110, introduced in 2019, running at 28,800 vph with a solid 72-hour power reserve and hacking seconds for precise time setting. A convex sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Water resistance is rated at 60 metres. This example comes with thje brown calfskin strap with pin buckle. 

This Pilot's Watch Spitfire is from 2021, is in near mint condition and comes as a full set with factory warranty until 2029
