Overview
The IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire IW326802 is a 39 mm bronze-cased interpretation of IWC's long-running Spitfire line, named after the iconic British fighter aircraft. Its green dial lends an earthy, vintage character that pairs naturally with the warm patina bronze develops over time. Calibre 32110 provides the automatic movement at the heart of the watch.
History
IWC introduced this reference around 2019 as part of a broader refresh of the Spitfire family, which has been a recurring theme within the brand's Pilot collection for decades. The use of bronze — a material that acquires a unique, owner-specific patina — marked a notable departure from the stainless-steel cases that had long defined the line. Production of IW326802 continued into the early 2020s before the reference was retired, making it a relatively compact chapter in the Spitfire story. Its combination of an unconventional case material and a restrained 39 mm diameter has attracted collectors drawn to wearable, historically evocative pilot watches.
Notable points
- 39 mm bronze case develops a distinctive, individualised patina with wear, ensuring no two examples age identically.
- Green dial references the earthy tones associated with military aviation heritage, complementing the warm hue of the bronze.
- Calibre 32110 is an in-house automatic movement, continuing IWC's tradition of producing its own pilot-watch ebauches.
- The Spitfire name pays homage to the Supermarine Spitfire, the celebrated British WWII fighter aircraft.
- A 39 mm diameter positions the watch at the more restrained end of the modern pilot-watch spectrum, favouring wearability.
