There’s no need to go back to the fifties, sixties or seventies,
people are already using the word ‘vintage’ to describe this pilot
watch inspired by the first IWC mechanical Fliegerchronograph
launched in 1994.

Even at the time, reference 3706 was associated
with a vintage look. The instant classic is going back to
its original design: a quarter-seconds scale to measure short
periods of time and rectangular hands covered in a luminous
material. The robust 79320 calibre measures splits and additional
time up to 12 hours. Like all of IWC’s pilot watches, the
movement is protected against magnetic fields by a soft iron
case and the crystal is resistant to sudden drops in pressure.
