IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince” 43mm

This IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph reference IW377714, purchased in 2019, is presented in good condition and comes complete with its original box and papers. Part of IWC’s legendary Pilot’s collection, this model blends aviation heritage with modern precision and unmistakable style.

The 43 mm stainless-steel case is beautifully balanced, combining brushed and polished surfaces to create a robust yet refined presence on the wrist. It features a screw-down crown, pump-style chronograph pushers, and a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides — ensuring excellent legibility in all lighting conditions.

The sunburst blue dial, inspired by the clear skies of flight, is both bold and functional. It features three recessed sub-dials — 12-hour, 30-minute, and small-seconds counters — arranged in a classic tri-compax layout. The day and date display sits neatly at 3 o’clock, providing practical utility without compromising balance. Luminous hands and large white Arabic numerals guarantee readability even in low light.

Powering this model is the IWC calibre 79320, a reliable automatic chronograph movement based on the Valjoux 7750 architecture. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offering a 44-hour power reserve and chronograph precision engineered to IWC’s exacting standards.

This example is fitted with the black leather strap, secured by a stainless-steel pin buckle, offering comfort and a refined aesthetic that complements the blue dial perfectly.

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377714 captures the spirit of aviation in a design that’s both rugged and elegant. This 2019 full-set example, presented in good condition, remains a superb choice for collectors seeking a reliable, iconic chronograph with genuine history and purpose.
