IWC Pilots Chronograph 'Le Petit Prince' Edition, IW377714

We are proud to present this IWC Pilots Chronograph ‘Le Petit Prince’ Edition watch.

The Pilots series of watches were designed in accordance with military specifications and nowadays have reached a cult status that few wristwatches attain. IWC’s first proper purpose-built pilots watch was produced in 1936 and followed up nearly a decade later with the MOD commissioned Mark X (the official start of the Mark series). The watch adhered to specific military requirements in terms of robustness and dial layout. That simplistic, legible layout has become a staple of the entire range subsequently and is what has ensured the longevity of the whole collection by appealing to many aviation/military enthusiasts.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s story “The Little Prince” has been translated into over 300 languages and is considered to be the most famous work written by the French flying pioneer and author. This version of the Pilots chronograph celebrates the relationship between his story and love of aviation.

It comes in a brushed 43mm stainless steel case with a smooth polished bezel. The dial is a striking sunburst blue finish with large luminous contrasting Arabic numerals and dagger hands. The dial is finished off with a legible day/date aperture at 3 o’clock and triple chronograph sub-dials at 12/6/9 with a red running seconds hand and is protected by a domed sapphire crystal glass. It is powered by the IWC calibre 79320 automatic movement and comes fitted on a brown calfskin strap with a steel IWC pin buckle.
