Iwc pilot chronograph series#

The ceramic watches in the Top Gun series sell for between 6,000 and 30,000 USD. This collection contains everything from simple three-hand watches to complicated timepieces like the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar, and covers a price range of 5,400 to 36,000 USD. Those who prefer bronze cases should consider the Spitfire series. If you're interested in a Pilot's Watch with a chronograph function, the most affordable option is the stainless steel Pilot's Chronograph Classic, which changes hands for about 6,800 USD. The standard 40-mm edition is only slightly more expensive at roughly 4,700 USD. Prices for an IWC Pilot's Watch begin around 4,500 USD for a 36-mm stainless steel model from the Classic series. With diameters ranging from 36 to 55 mm, there are plenty of options for men and women alike. That being said, the manufacturer still outfits some timepieces with movements from ETA or Sellita. In recent years, IWC has been equipping more and more models with in-house calibers. The case materials are just as diverse and include stainless steel, gold, platinum, titanium, bronze, and ceramic. The current collection contains an impressive variety of models, from three-hand watches and chronographs to timepieces with a perpetual calendar, moon phase, and tourbillon. These timepieces resemble their historical predecessors from the early 1940s, including luminous Arabic numerals and indices, sword hands, and a pilot's triangle at 12 o'clock for optimal readability. IWC continues this tradition in the modern Pilot's Watches collection. Today, most enthusiasts consider models like the 'Große Fliegeruhr' (big pilot's watch) from 1940 and the Mark 11 from 1948 classics, and both are coveted collector's items. The company introduced their 'Spezialuhr für Flieger' (special watch for pilots) back in 1936. IWC Schaffhausen has a closer connection to pilot's watches than almost any other Swiss watch manufacturer.
