  Due to the popularity of the pilot's watch theme, many manufacturers produce aviation-themed timepieces. However, there is no doubt and dispute that IWC is a leader among pilot's watches.

  IWC is one of the few large watch factories in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, headquartered in Schaffhausen, producing dedicated pilot's watches starting from 1936.

  IWC has a complete product line of pilot's watches, including the Pilot's Chronograph, the Pilot's Watch "Le Petit Prince" edition, the Mark series, the Big Pilot's Watch, the Spitfire series, the Big Pilot's Watch TOP GUN, and Spitfire pilot's watches.

This technology was only important for use in specific aviation environments 1936 years ago (80). But today people live in the electronic era, making heavy use of electronic devices with magnetic fields, rendering the anti-magnetic performance of pilot's watches extremely practical.
