The Watch

Here we have a 2021 IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "C.03." IW388105 A collaboration with the Collective Horology, a Silicon Valley-based Online retailer offering many brands to enthusiasts in the US, since their founding in 2018 they have worked with Czapek, URWERK, IWC Schaffhausen, Zenith, H. Moser and many others on two distinctive projects which are the Collective Series and Portfolio Series, these watches are made available to the Collective members through their shop. Limited to 125 pieces, inspired by the IWC IW3706 from the 1990s. With a 41mm satin brushed stainless steel case with a soft-iron inner case that protects the watch from magnetic fields, a subtle curve of the case leads to flowing chamfer-edges tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 51.5mm and a case thickness of 14mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. Down the right side, we have the polished chronograph pushers and in the centre, a screw-down signed crown, the chamfer-edges smooth bezel holds a convex sapphire crystal AR coated on both sides. A matte black and grey monochromatic dial has an outer minute track with Arabic numeral and baton indexes coated in a grey Super-LumiNova luminance marking the hours, large Arabic numerals lay just underneath again coated in a grey Super-LumiNova luminance with the triangle and pips at 12 o’clock a characteristic seen on many pilot timepieces. At 3 o’clock a day/date window. The chronograph consists of a 30-minute register at 12 o’clock, a 60-second register at 6 o’clock and finally, a 12-hour register at 9 o’clock, each register having a concentric circular pattern. Elegant sword hands coated in luminance complemented with a tapered chronograph hand, at 3 o’clock we have the IWC motif completing this military-inspired chronograph. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back, inside an automatic IWC Cal. 69385, 33 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, based on the ETA 7750 movement, modified by IWC to their specifications and has a black skeleton nickel-plated signed rotor.
