Presented at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), in Geneva, the Spitfire line, from IWC Schaffhausen, is a collection of watches that perfectly symbolize the shape and function, as well as the fighter jets where he got inspired in. Its design was inspired in the iconic Mark 11 from the same Swiss watch makers. One of the new models of this line is the IWC Timezoner Spitfire Edition «The Longest Flight», a limited edition of 250 units. This edition is dedicated to the project «Silver Spifire – The Longest Flight», and it was developed for the British pilots Steve Boultbee Brooks and Matt Jones making it a coincidence with their flight around the world in a Spitfire, that will occur next Summer. The two pilots will fly about 43000 km over 30 countries in the iconic fighter jet.
As far as the clock is concerned, it can be configured to a different time zone through a simple rotation movement of the rim. The hour hand, the 24-hour dial and date automatically rotate at the same time. The IWC most recently developed 82760 gauge has a Pellaton mechanism of rope with components made of wear-resistant ceramic and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The watch comes inside a stainless steel case of 46 mm, it has a black dial, rhodium-plated hands and a green fabric bracelet.
