The AAA IWC Replica Pilot’s Watch Chronograph

Produced from 1994 to 2005, Der Fliegerchronograph ref. 3706 was IWC’s first mechanical pilot’s chronograph, and one of the bestsellers during a period the IWC was resolutely Swiss-German. Together with the Mark XII Replica Watches and Der Doppelchronograph, it marked the return of IWC pilot’s watches in the post-quartz era. All of them relied on the same design language, inspired by the Mark 11 made for the Royal Air Force in the 1950s.

With the Mark XII just having been remade, now it’s the turn of the IWC Replica Watches Pilot’s Chronograph China, as an online-only reissue of the original. The most significant difference is size, it’s now 43mm compared to 39mm before.

The design of the dial is virtually identical, right down to the day-date display. Unlike the current line-up of AAA IWCPilot’s watches For Sale, the reissue has baton hands, a slim typeface as well as a quarter-seconds track for measuring shorter periods of time – just like the original ref. 3706. In fact, it almost looks like how a 20-year old ref. 3706 would look today, with faux-patina lume on the indices and hands that mimic the look of aged tritium.

And the remake is powered by the same movement, the cal. 79320, which is still based on the reliable Valjoux 7750. But because the case has been enlarged while the movement diameter stays the same.

As with all High Quality Replica watches past and present, the movement is protected by a soft iron, antimagnetic inner cage.

The IWC Replica Pilot’s Watch Chronograph

For instrument watch enthusiasts, the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Replica and Pilot’s Chronograph/Fliegerchronograph were a very big deal indeed, and they represented, along with the Mark XII, a kind of high water mark for functionally driven watch design – not just from IWC, but for the 1990s in general.

The watch looked very promising and indeed, in the metal, it’s an impressive Helpful Fake Watches, as well as being, for those of us who remember the debut of the originals in the ’90s, a pretty powerful reminder of a time when so many milestones in watchmaking were yet to come and when the hobby was still very small scale.

In many respects, it certainly feels very much like the original as well. There’s the same take-it-or-leave-it chunky steel case, a virtually identical dial, the same date display as in the original, and the same distribution of lume. The Functional Copy IWC Watches basic design remains as strong as ever – time and elapsed time information are delivered with all the unambiguous bluntness and lack of ceremony of a process server handing you a court summons, which for an instrument watch is exactly as it should be.

In a lot of respects the wearing experience for the new model’s more similar to the original than different – the thickness of each is close enough to somewhat cancel out the difference in diameter. The lume may look aged but of course it works just fine and in the dark, as you’d expect, the dial glows like Marie Curie’s teeth.

As happy as I was to see this design return, there is an unexpected element of sadness to seeing it and having it on the wrist, and that’s because it is a powerful exercise in nostalgia. The original version appeared at a time when not just the world of watches, but the world in general,Luxury Fake Watch was a very different place; being part of a watch enthusiast community meant being part of something much smaller and altogether more intimate, and watch brands in general still made changes in products in careful, incremental ways, rather than attempting to produce significantly new designs in relatively short periods of time. There was, overall, a sense of durability of design, and stability in identity, that seems to have been a bit lost nowadays.

I actually don’t have a very clear sense of what it would be like to have a straight re-issue of the original back. And being a little too backwards-looking has, historically, been occasionally problematic and sometimes nearly fatal for the European watch industry. Maybe it’s better to see this Fashionable IWC Replica Watch for what it is: a sign of the times that has appeared at a moment when the mechanical watch is once again straddling the divide between what it once was and can never be again, and what it’s going to become.

IWC Pilot’s Fake Watches Chronograph Online Boutique Edition For Sale

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Of IWC Replica features a steel case that clocks in at a diameter of 43mm and a height of 15.3mm.Beating inside the watch is the IWC Caliber 79230, an automatic chronograph movement based on the ETA 7750, with a 44 hour power reserve, 25 jewels, and a frequency of 28,800 bph. On the dial are 3 registers displaying the running seconds, elapsed minutes tracked by the chronograph, and elapsed hours tracked by the chronograph.

In addition, the movement provides the wearer with both the day and date. The sub-registers are displayed in the usual style found on IWC Pilots Replica watches powered by a 7750 based movement, and it works really well here. Some also might bemoan the use of the day-date function, but I really dig it here—something about it meshes nicely with the dial’s aesthetic, and I greatly appreciate the functionality of the day-date complication. In classic IWC pilot watch fashion, the movement is encased in an iron cage to protect the movement from magnetization, and as a result, the caseback is solid. The watch is water resistant to 60 meters, and as is expected at this price point, has a sapphire crystal.

In my opinion, the dial of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph is really stunning. Based on the “Fliegerchronograph” that IWC produced over 20 years ago, the dial’s clean design is very reminiscent of pure tool IWC Replica Watches. The white markers provide a nice contrast with the black dial, and the hands and lume plots at 12, 3, 6, and 9 are painted with beige faux-patina style lume. Faux-patina lume can sometimes be overdone, but it works well with the vintage style of this design. The squared-off hour hand and slightly pointed minute hand are similar to those found on older IWC fliegers, like the Mark 11, which I think is a good choice for this watch. Additionally, the subdials have a nice subtle radial texturing that provides a nice visual element to break up an otherwise smooth dial design.

Packaged with the watch is its only strap: a green textile/NATO strap, and my feelings about this decision are a bit conflicted. The watch does look quite good on the strap in photos, and I’m sure the IWC NATO is high quality, but as someone who already owns a ton of NATO straps that I could easily put on any watch, I wish that IWC Cheap Replica Watches had chosen to include a nice leather strap as well. Finding a well-made leather strap that matches a specific watch can be difficult, while there are a variety of high quality NATO straps out there that individuals could source themselves.

The clean dial design, classic hands, and vintage atmosphere of this watch check a lot of boxes for me, and I’m sure that IWC Fake Watches will attract a large audience with this one, both to their online store and when it eventually hits brick-and-mortar shops.
