About this watch

The IWC Big Pilot 43 Spitfire is a statement piece that embodies impeccable engineering and stylish design. This timepiece is more than just a watch; it's a symbol of sophistication and technical excellence. Crafted from titanium, this watch is not only lightweight but also incredibly durable, making it suitable for both formal and casual occasions. The round case measures 43mm in diameter, striking a perfect balance between presence and wearability. At the heart of the Big Pilot 43 Spitfire is the IWC caliber 82100, a self-winding movement designed for reliability and precision. With a water resistance rating of 100 meters, this watch can handle splashes and brief immersion without any issues. The use of titanium not only contributes to the watch's lightweight nature but also enhances its durability. Wearing the IWC Big Pilot 43 Spitfire is a comfortable experience, with the titanium case feeling almost weightless on the wrist. This timepiece is perfect for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life, whether you're a pilot, a business professional, or simply a watch aficionado.
