PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE
WELCOME
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to
be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than
absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere
appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingeni-
ous idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries
and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject,
and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why,
since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time
to watches that must not only run with absolute precision
but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascin-
ation with the great achievements of master craftsmanship:
a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or
formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details
that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of
a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like
to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best
wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which
perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than
it is here.

for example when a drop in air pressure occurs at extreme
altitudes. To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues
to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe
afew important operating instructions.
THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and
seconds, together with the date and the day of the week.
You can use the integrated chronograph to measure any
period of time up to 12 hours in seconds, minutes and hours.
Recorded times can be added together. The mechanical
movement with automatic winding has a power reserve of
approximately 46 hours when fully wound. Your Pilot’s Watch
Chronograph Spitfire is water-resistant to 6 bar and protected
by asapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale.
The glass is retained securely in the case at low pressure,

NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown into its
normal position (X) prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the
time or date and also acts as a double seal to prevent water
from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew it
by turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes pos-

DATE AND DAY SETTING
If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the
date manually to the first day of the following month. Release
the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now
set the date by turning the crown to the right, and the day by
turning it to the left (rapid adjustment). You should not use
the rapid-adjustment function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
because the movement automatically advances the date
during this period and the switching mechanism could
be damaged.
ition 0, the winding position. By depressing the crown into
position X and turning it to the right at the same time, it is
screwed down firmly again and secured.
WINDING POSITION
With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also
wind the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions
of the crown are enough to start the movement. However,
it is recommended to wind the watch by turning the crown
through approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure
maximum precision.

Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions
0, 1 and 2, the crown should always be screwed in again for
normal use (position X) to ensure the stability of the seal and
to protect the winding mechanism.
SETTING YOUR WATCH CORRECTLY
To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
– Release the crown by turning it to the left.
– Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the
crown).
– Pull out the crown to position 1.
TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement.
To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the
movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the
minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set.
Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards
until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures
that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you
restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the
crown to position 0. When setting the time, please be aware
of the date change, which always takes place at 12 midnight.
If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must
move the hands forwards by 12 hours.

few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then pos-
ition the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until
it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures
that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you
restart the movement.
– Push the crown back into position 0 to start the movement.
– Now push the crown into position X and secure it by simultan-
eously turning it to the right.
Important: The watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and
2 as long as the crown is not moved. The crown should gen-
erally always be screwed in for normal use to ensure the sta-
bility of the seal and to protect the winding mechanism.
– Turn the crown to the right to advance the date display in
steps. Set the display to yesterday’s date.
– Turn the crown to the left to advance the day display in
steps. Set the display to yesterday’s day.
– Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the move-
ment. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to
stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
– Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to
today’s date. The hands will now be positioned between
12midnight and 1 a.m.
– Now turn the hands forwards to the current time. If you
are setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the
hands past 12 (noon) again. Now move the minute hand a
