Review the IWC Pilot Chronograph Spitfire Bronze Watch Replica With Low Price

Among the various pilot watches, IWC Pilot replica is my favorite. Because of the beauty of the world and the sword-shaped luminous pointer, it has hit my aesthetics. I saw this IWC Pilot Chronograph Spitfire Bronze 41 mm watch replica IW387902, and I was immediately attracted by the golden case and the dark green dial. IWC Spitfire Bronze watch replica actually belongs to the Spitfire series, but compared to the steel case version, the most attractive thing about this bronze case is the color of the case.

The Case

The new IWC Pilot's Watch replica will be easily recognizable thanks to its distinctive bronze case. It isn't the first time that IWC relies on this trendy material for a pilot's watch replica. Bronze was used exclusively on the IWC Big Pilot replica, which was a limited production piece – see here, the reference IW501005. For the SIHH 2019, IWC brings bronze to the masses, by using it as the case material for a more accessible chronograph watch with a non-limited production. The case has a matte finish and will gain patina over time. For safety reasons, the caseback is in titanium.

However, that's not the only novelty concerning the case. Most importantly, this watch has a reduced diameter of 41mm – making it closer to the original Flieger Chronograph (at 39mm) and two millimetres smaller than the standard Pilot's Watch Chronograph replica IW377709 (which is 43mm ). For us at MONOCHROME, this is a wise decision. Not only will the watch look more compact on the wrist, but it also allows for a more balanced dial and its multiple indications.

The Dial

Matching the bronze case, the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire replica ref. IW387902 displays a highly original colour for the dial: olive green. The 3-6-9 indexes are small squares and the index at 12 o'clock is the iconic triangle – all of that inspired by the 1990s watches and the Mark XI. Being a member of the Spitfire replica collection, this watch relies on the signature propeller-shaped hands, in this case, plated in gold to match the bronze case. The day-date indication, which has always been part of the model, is still placed at 3 o'clock.

The Movement

The other main evolution concerns the incorporation, for the first time in a “simple” Pilot's chronograph, of a manufacture movement. The ref. IW387902 is equipped with a movement of the 69xxx family – introduced first on the 2016 Ingenieur and recently used on the Portugieser 150th Anniversary 3716. This automatic movement is based on an integrated/column-wheel architecture. The new chronograph calibre has been designed and developed from the ground-up together with ValFleurier (Richemont Group production facilities), as the new entry-level chronograph of the brand to slowly replace Valjoux ébauches (more details about the movement in this in-depth article.) Because of the anti-magnetic requirements (soft-iron cage), the movement isn't visible here.

Conclusion

In the market, the actual market of bronze chronograph is much higher than that of steel case flying meters. The appearance of the bronze flying meter is also one of the best among the pilots of the world. A brown calf leather strap with a bronze pin buckle complements the design. The replica IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Spitfire Bronze's price is EUR 6,990.
