Introducing The Replica IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph Edition '80 Years Flight To New York'

In July of 1939, the largest aircraft built in France at the time took flight. The Latécoère 521 was destined for New York City, its first transatlantic crossing. On board was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of The Little Prince. It was in New York that Saint-Exupéry would write the famous children's book. The IWC Pilot '80 Years Flight To New York' Watch Replica IW395003 is a horological commemoration of a French flying boat's first transatlantic passage.

The Case

The IWC Pilot Timezoner Chronograph Watch replica's size stands up to the larger-than-life legacy of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, with a 46mm wide and 16.8mm tall steel case. The bezel is fashioned from ceramic in a shade of brown that matches the dial as well. As a tribute to the legendary journey, both "Paris" and "New York" on the bezel are painted in red, matching with one of the hands while providing a welcome contrast to the also sepia-brown dial. Two subdials grace the watch face at the 12 and six o’clock positions, whilst a date indicator can be found at 3 o’clock.

The Movement

IWC Pilot Timezoner Chronograph Men's Watch replica makes use of the automatic in-house Caliber 89760, with a 68-hour power reserve.  On the caseback, you’ll find an engraving of the Latécoère 521 which Saint Exupéry piloted for that very flight 80 years ago. The piece is limited to 80 examples. The bezel is coupled to the movement, and yet the watch still maintains a respectable water resistance of 6 bar.

The Function

There's an interesting functional aspect to the IWC Pilot watch replica that's quite impressive. The wearer can cycle through time zones (marked by cities) by depressing the bezel and turning. The hour hand jumps with each city that's clicked through. The date will turn over when the date line is crossed, as well.  Cutting edge tech packed into a water-resistant case. Sounds kind of like a flying boat.

Conclusion

As a limited edition model, only 80 units will be made in honor of the 80th anniversary, and the proceeds of the very first one sold will be fully donated to the Saint Exupéry Foundation, which supports various educational programs for youth all around the globe. For those interested, the IWC Schaffhausen Pilot "80 Years Flight to New York" Watch replica is now available for $13,100 USD.
