Thanks to IWC Watch Company these 2 wonders have managed to meet again in the new Spitfire pilots' watch collection.
The Spitfire collection consists of 4 magnificent models: the Chrono-Automatic, the UTC watch with its 2 time zones, the Mark XVI and the new Midsize.

The central screw-down stainless steel back and a screw-in winding crown ensure water resistance up to 60 meters. The Spitfire collection boasts a soft iron inner case for protection against destructive magnetic fields.

The 79320 caliber chronograph movement makes the watch a great mechanical timekeeper. It enables the timing of periods of time up to 12 hours and shows the date and day of the week.
