IWC Pilot’s Double Chrono IW371807

IWC released this special edition double chronograph in honour of the great poet and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who has become something of a mascot for the brand. Specifically, the watch commemorates his seminal novella, Le Petit Prince. Each star in the central subdial represents both a planet visited in the book and a day of the week, turning to gold in a seemingly random order assigned by the wearer. This pattern is repeated on the caseback, with an engraving that names each of the planets' inhabitants. The double chronograph movement allows two second hands to be started and then stopped independently of each other so as to be able to measure split times—an intricate and prestigious complication.

This IWC has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition at our IWC certified service centre to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been checked against our records to ensure authenticity. All our watches have a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind.
