Catching up on some watch articles from over the weekend, I came across this fantastic write up that Hodinkee posted. Ahead of SIHH 2019, they visited IWC's headquarters and spent some time with their CEO discussing the new Spitfire collection and some other releases.

IWC hasn't really been on my radar, but I must admit that this new Spitfire collection has some real winners. Personally, I'm a big fan of the looks and movement complications of "The Longest Flight."

I want that date bronze spitfire...that looks like it’s a winner.

There are some really nice watches in this new collection. The Bronze Chrono is a winner for me.

What's up with the faux patina? And... could someone please remind IWC and the rest of the watch industry that WW II has been over for many years. No need to issue supplies for the conflict from decades ago.

Hard pass.

You and me both!

Just been on the iwc website. Aside from any I like being absolutely massive, I’m unsure why the only one they’ve given a sapphire caseback is the one with the least interesting movement. Odd really as those movements in the spitfires look really nice.

I wish UTC was in steel instead of bronze

I also saw this and like the bronze.

Love that "Longest Flight" LE

Wonder if they can still be purchased?

I love the Spitfire collection. I didn't connect much with IWC prior to, but have looked at several models since the launch. The Spitfire chrono is on my list. faux patina doesn't bother me

Just picked this up and really loving it. Is the perfect size and wears very comfortably.
