PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE

WELCOME

Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to

be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than

absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere

appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingeni-

ous idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-

ation. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries

and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject,

and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why,

since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time

to watches that must not only run with absolute precision

but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascin-

ation with the great achievements of master craftsmanship:

a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or

formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details

that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of

a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like

to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best

wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which

perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than

it is here.

for example when a drop in air pressure occurs at extreme

altitudes. To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues

to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe

afew important operating instructions.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE

PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE

Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and

seconds, together with the date and the day of the week.

You can use the integrated chronograph to measure any

period of time up to 12 hours in seconds, minutes and hours.

Recorded times can be added together. The mechanical

movement with automatic winding has a power reserve of

approximately 46 hours when fully wound. Your Pilot’s Watch

Chronograph Spitfire is water-resistant to 6 bar and protected

by asapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale.

The glass is retained securely in the case at low pressure,

NORMAL POSITION

This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown into its

normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the

time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water

from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it

by turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes pos-

DATE AND DAY SETTING

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the

date manually to the first day of the following month. Release

the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now

set the date by turning the crown to the right, and the day by

turning it to the left (rapid adjustment). You should not use

the rapid-adjustment function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.

because the movement automatically advances the date

during this period and the switching mechanism could

be damaged.

ition 0, the winding position. By depressing the crown into

position X and turning it to the right at the same time, it is

screwed down firmly again and secured.

WINDING POSITION

With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also

wind the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions

of the crown are enough to start the movement. However,

it is recommended to wind the watch by turning the crown

through approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure

maximum precision.

Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions

0, 1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for

normal use (position X) to ensure the stability of the seal and

to protect the winding mechanism.

SETTING YOUR WATCH CORRECTLY

To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:

– Release the crown by turning it to the left.

– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the

crown).

– Pull out the crown to position 1.

TIME SETTING

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.

To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the

movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the

minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set.

Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards

until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures

that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you

restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the

crown to position 0. When setting the time, please be aware

of the date change, which always takes place at 12 midnight.

If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must

move the hands forwards by 12 hours.

few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then pos-

ition the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until

it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures

that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you

restart the movement.

– Push the crown back into position 0 to start the movement.

– Now push the crown into position X and secure it by simultan-

eously turning it to the right.

Important: The watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and

2 as long as the crown is not moved. The crown should gen-

erally always be screwed in for normal use to ensure the sta-

bility of the seal and to protect the winding mechanism.

– Turn the crown to the right to advance the date display in

steps. Set the display to yesterday’s date.

– Turn the crown to the left to advance the day display in

steps. Set the display to yesterday’s day.

– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the move-

ment. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to

stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.

– Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to

today’s date. The hands will now be positioned between

12midnight and 1 a.m.

– Now turn the hands forwards to the current time. If you

are setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the

hands past 12 (noon) again. Now move the minute hand a
