Arguably, the most famous one is the Mark 11, a navigation watch engineered in 1948 for the British Royal Air Force. However, IWC has also supplied watches to the British Army and deck watches to the Royal Navy. These mil-spec service watches were characterised by high-precision movements, extreme ruggedness, functional designs with easily legible dials, and purpose-built technical features such as soft-iron inner cases to provide protection against magnetic fields. The Spitfire Pilot\u2019s Watches reflect this chapter in the brand\u2019s history. Featuring a distinctive military design, they take their name from the iconic British aeroplane of the time, one of the most sophisticated developments in the history of aviation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"IWC Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43 Spitfire\" class=\"wp-image-16330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_05.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>\u201cAfter introducing the Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43 in April, we are now adding\u00a0<strong>two Spitfire models to the collection \u2013 one in a matte grey titanium case with a black dial, the second one in a warmer style in bronze with a military green dial<\/strong>. Both feature the distinctive Big Pilot\u2019s design with the striking conical crown in an\u00a0<strong>ergonomic 43-millimetre case<\/strong>. However, what sets these new Spitfire models apart is their military aesthetic with\u00a0<strong>closed case backs, inspired by the rugged field watches from back when the iconic Spitfire graced the skies,<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0explains Christian Knoop, Creative Director of IWC Schaffhausen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43 Spitfire features a case, case back and crown made from lightweight and robust grade 5 titanium<\/strong>. The dark grey matte colour results from an elaborate surface treatment in which the components are first polished and then sandblasted.\u00a0<strong>The design of the black dial was inspired by historical observation watches. Only the minutes and seconds are printed in white on the outer ring, while the hours appear smaller and in a more discreet grey print on the inner ring<\/strong>. Traditionally, this layout made it easier for pilots and navigators to read the minutes and seconds at just a glance. They needed this information to perform tasks like celestial navigation during visual flights. The distinctive field watch design is complemented with a brown calfskin leather strap with contrast stitching.\u00a0(<strong>Price \u20ac. 9.650<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"IWC Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43 Spitfire\" class=\"wp-image-16326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IWC_Big_Pilots_Watch_43_Spitfire_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Big Pilot\u2019s Watch 43 Spitfire features a bronze case and crown as well as a titanium case back<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Alongside copper, the bronze used by IWC also contains aluminium and iron<\/strong>. This specific composition makes the alloy around 50 per cent harder than standard bronze. Additional characteristics include the material\u2019s exceptional biocompatibility and its ability to develop a unique patina over time, which will give each timepiece a distinct character and look of its own. The warm colour of the bronze harmonises with the\u00a0<strong>military green dial and the gold-plated hands. Both the hands and hour markers have been coated with a luminescent material<\/strong>\u00a0to facilitate readability at night.

Da l\u00ec prende forma un percorso che, con il tempo, si trasforma prima in passione e poi in un progetto condiviso: WATCH INSANITY. Crescendo, il mio sguardo si \u00e8 affinato, si \u00e8 educato alla cura dei particolari, fino ad approdare naturalmente all\u2019orologeria meccanica e, in particolare, al mondo degli indipendenti. Un universo che incarna l\u2019idea pi\u00f9 pura di orologeria: visione creativa, libert\u00e0 progettuale, ossessione per il dettaglio. Qui ogni orologio nasce da una mente, da una mano, da una scelta consapevole, senza compromessi industriali o scorciatoie. Raccontare questi segnatempo significa dare voce alle persone, alle visioni e al coraggio che li rendono possibili. WATCH INSANITY nasce per questo: celebrare un\u2019orologeria sincera, radicale, pensata per chi cerca contenuti, non mode. Perch\u00e9, come nella vita, anche al polso scegliamo solo ci\u00f2 che ci rappresenta davvero.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/watchinsanity\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/author\/jacopo-giudici\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/679"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16333"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16337,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16333\/revisions\/16337"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
