IWC's first pilot's watches was produced mainly for civil aviation purposes. An epitome of a versatile sports watch, the Pilot's Chronograph has a classic cockpit-instrument look, precise movement and a global following. This Pilot's Chronograph features a 43 mm stainless steel case that holds a sunray blue "Type A" dial under a scratch-resistant convex sapphire crystal. It has silver-tone and luminescent lozenge hands, white Arabic numerals and an orientation triangle with 2 dots on either side at 12 o'clock as hour markers. This minimalistic dial design allowed pilots improved legibility and easier 12 o'clock indication for both daytime and nighttime. A screw down crown flanked with pushers at 3 o'clock, day/date apertures and 3-subdial layout with running seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour timers combine to form a near-perfect reinterpretation of IWC's first Pilot's Chronograph and Double Chronograph, references no. 3705 and 3711 respectively. A touch of red contrast is evident via the running seconds hand amidst the black and white theme. Fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and secured by a signed folding clasp which completes the elegant look.
