IWC Pilot Spitfire Owner Review : Balanced, reliable and humble

After wearing watches that were a bit too recognizable, I wanted to move towards a more discreet yet more assertive model. After watching the Showtime series "Let the Right One In," where the lead actor wore a Field watch that resembled the Hamilton Khaki Field, I wanted to get a watch of that type. The latter was attractive, but on the wrist, I found it too lightweight and outdated. I did some serious research and came across the Spitfire, and that was it. A historic watch that celebrates the RAF's single-seat fighter plane during World War II, housed in a 39mm case with a black dial, rhodium-plated hands, and a green textile strap. Not to mention the IWC-manufactured caliber 32110 with a 72-hour power reserve and a soft iron cage that protects against magnetic fields. Legible and compact, the Spitfire is in the same league as the Mark.
