The Spitfire Longest Flight Timezoner has come up a lot in my feeds the past few weeks.I think its one of the best looking watches out there. IWC is clearly referencing its heritage WWII watches so it has that “Allies” look, as opposed to a German “flieger”. Incorporating the rotating bezel, with insert, gives it a really bold appearance, which is different that the traditional plain bezel. These are my favorite flieger-style hands I’ve seen. I’m not a fan of the onion or diamond crowns that pilot’s/flieger watches originally incorpoated for practical reasons, but I’d take it here!
I was planning a flieger mod at some point and after seeing so much of this watch, I may have some additional ideas.
