Pilot's Watch Hand-Wound : IW325404

The IWC Pilot's Watch Hand-Wound, reference IW325404, is a notable model from the Pilot's Watches collection released in 2008. Its robust 44.0 mm case is crafted from white gold, giving it a luxurious yet understated appearance. The watch features a transparent caseback made of sapphire glass that allows an unobstructed view of its intricate movement. At its heart, this model contains a hand-wound movement from the 98,000-calibre family, known for its large screw balance and Breguet spring. This movement traces its origins to the 1930s and has been in continuous production longer than most other IWC movements, highlighting its reliability and enduring design. The watch includes design elements reminiscent of IWC's first Jones calibre from 1868, such as the decorated nickel-silver three-quarter bridge and the distinctive Jones arrow. It embodies a classic pilot's style while showcasing the brand's rich heritage in horological craftsmanship.
