Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition "Antoine de Saint Exupéry" - IWC
IWC honours French pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry with a new tobacco brown and white chronograph model.

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” with date and day display precisely handles single and aggregate stop times of up to 12 hours. The self-winding system generates a power reserve of 44 hours, which is self-sufficient enough for long-haul flights. The numerals and hands on the clearly structured dial feature luminous coatings to ensure good legibility, even at night-time.

This watch features the characteristic tobacco brown dial and is fitted with a brown calfskin strap by Santoni with decorative white stitching. This design is inspired by the typical overalls worn by pilots in Saint-Exupéry’s era. This model also features an engraving of a Lightning P-38 on the case back. It was in this particular model of aircraft that Saint-Exupéry took off on a reconnaissance flight from which he never returned.

This model features IWC’s tried-and-tested technology for pilot’s watches. The soft-iron inner case effectively protects the movement against the influence of magnetic fields, and the sapphire glass is specially designed to be protected against sudden drops in pressure in the cockpit.
