New IWC Pilot's Watches
To be revealed at SIHH 2019...
Spitfire Chronograph in Bronze with green dial, 41mm, new in-house movement
Double Chronograph Top Gun Ceratanium. Case made from a titanium/ceramic composite. 44mm split seconds chronograph.
Apparently there are additional new pilot's watches that will be announced at the show.

Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
I like both, but I wonder about price.
Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
I can't afford these anyway, but I'm never buying another watch with in house movement again. What a pain. Granted, I bought grey market, but with two year warranties being the norm, after 24 months and one day you are stuck with a lifetime of expensive maintenance/repair bills. Flame suit on..

Reasonable but $15k is such a tough price point for me - a lot of competition in that space for my dollars. However if I want a IWC ceramic, the Top Gun ceramic chronograph at half the price is compelling (pre-owned).logan2z wrote:Hodinkee is reporting that the Bronze Spitfire will retail for $6250 and the Top Gun for $15K.
The Bronze is priced very well, IMO.

Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
A 41mm in house is a nice change. If it has a faraday cage, the movement could theoretically fit in a 39mm case.
Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
I like both of these but I hope there ones they announce in January once the embargo is lifted are better... havent seen any new aquatimers in a long time...
Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
Personally, I'm a big fan of the 43mm size on this style of watch. Hopefully some options still available in that range.

Re: New IWC Pilot's Watches
I'd like the first one if it wasn't bronze and wasn't green.
