About this watch

The IWC IW3878-09 Pilot's Watch Spitfire Chronograph JU-Air is a stunning example of luxury horology. Inspired by the iconic Spitfire aircraft, this limited edition timepiece features a robust design, advanced features, and a history tied to aviation. The round stainless steel case hosts a striking silver dial with Arabic numerals, providing exceptional legibility in low light conditions. The sapphire glass adds durability while showcasing the intricately designed dial. One of the standout features is its open case back, allowing wearers to admire the IWC caliber 89365 movement. This automatic marvel boasts a 68-hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour. With 38 jewels incorporated into its design, this movement is a testament to IWC's commitment to precision. The chronograph feature includes a flyback function, allowing rapid timekeeping for pilots and anyone needing precise timing. While the aesthetic appeal of the IW3878-09 is undeniable, its functionality excels with a water resistance of up to 60 meters, making it suitable for various activities. Its comfort level is also noteworthy, featuring a well-designed strap that complements its bulk without being cumbersome.
