IWC Pilots Chrono IW388004
This limited-edition pilot’s watch is 1 of 1700 and is a tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s legacy, not only as an aviator but as a French national hero. The spirit of Antoine de Saint-Exupery encapsulates that with which IWC most closely associates itself, bravery in innovation. In Saint-Exupery, IWC realise a shared heritage and his exploits as an aviation pioneer are contemporary to the companies release of their very first pilot watch. A famous author and pilot, Saint-Exupery was well known for pushing aviation boundaries, famously surviving a crash in the desert while attempting to break the air-speed record for Paris-Saigon (modern day Ho Chi Minh). ‘The last flight’ watch commemorates Saint-Exupery’s disappearance over the Mediterranean. In 1944 and in the midst of the Second World War, the Frenchman took to the air never to be seen again.
This IWC has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition at our IWC certified service centre to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been checked against our records to ensure authenticity.
