    We are proud to present this stylish IWC Pilots Chronograph ‘Tribute to the 3705’ Limited Edition watch for sale.

    In 1994, IWC presented the ref. 3705, the first pilot's watch with a case made of black zirconium oxide ceramic. At that time, IWC was one of the first watch manufacturers to experiment with this scratch-resistant case material, which is incredibly challenging to manufacture. Despite its high level of innovation and purist design, the model was not a success. It was not until about a quarter of a century later that the "Black Flieger", of which only about 1000 pieces were made, was re-discovered by watch enthusiasts. Just like the original relied on a pioneering material, the Tribute Edition likewise uses a material innovation from Schaffhausen: the case, chronograph pushers and pin buckle are made of Ceratanium®. This new material is as light and break-resistant as titanium, but at the same time as hard and scratch-resistant as ceramic.

    This IWC reference 387905 launched in 2021 comes in a matte 41mm Ceratanium round case with a matching step bezel. The dial is modelled on the original reference and is a clean black finish with large luminous contrasting Arabic numerals and hands (signature cut-off hour hand). 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 running seconds hand and is protected by a domed sapphire crystal glass. It is powered by the IWC calibre 69380 automatic movement, which is protected by a solid caseback featuring the limited edition engraving (only 1000). It comes fitted on a stitched black calfskin strap with a matching Ceratanium IWC pin buckle.

    Originally purchased in February 2021 and is in mint- like new condition, this IWC comes with its original inner & outer boxes, cleaning cloth, instruction booklet, original sales invoice and international warranty card. It is under IWC warranty until February 2023, but that warranty is extendable up to 2029 with registry with IWC themselves.
