IWC presents another Limited Edition under its highly appreciated Pilot Collection. This time the new model is based on the famous Spitfire Chronograph model designed exclusively for British Film Institute (BFI).
This limited edition timepiece celebrates the 60th
anniversary of the BFI London Film Festival this year. IWC is the
proud supporter and the Official Time Partner, a partnership that
began in 2014 and is set to continue until 2019. The event
will take from October 5th to the 16th.
The new model’s case measures 43mm x 15.5mm. The cleverly designed lines of the stainless steel case nicely balance the thickness and make the watch quite a comfortable wearer. The case sports a domed and AR-coated sapphire crystal and it is water resistant to 60 meters. The solid stainless steel caseback features an engraving mentioning "BFI Film Forever".
The dial is designed in silver color with SunRay surface.
The Arabic numeral indices and hands are finished in sky blue color
with SuperLuminova for better night time visibility.
