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,

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.

— 12 — — 13 —
PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE
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

length of bracelet, press the button with the IWC logo and
pull the bracelet slightly apart. To shorten it, push it together
in the area of the clasp; here the button does not need to be
pressed.
TAKING THE BRACELET APART
Open the folding clasp by pressing the buttons on the side.
Lay the bracelet face down on a firm base. To avoid scratch-
ing the bracelet and base, place a cloth underneath the brace-
let. Using the special tool provided, you can now push down

ADJUSTING AND SETTING
THE METAL BRACELET
The metal bracelet has been designed so that you can easily
adjust it to the size of your wrist. You can make this adjust-
ment yourself by removing or adding individual bracelet links.
Furthermore, for your personal convenience, this bracelet
has an innovative fine-adjustment system, permitting you to
extend or reduce the length of the bracelet quite simply by up

the bracelet if possible, to ensure that the clasp can be worn
more or less in the centre of the wrist.
Please observe the following recommendation: Generally
the size of your wrist will increase during the course of the
same time, slide the bracelet link outwards (1). Now slide the
opposing external bracelet link away from the bracelet with
the two hinged links, without pushing down its fixing bolt (2).
The bracelet is now separated (3).
DETERMINING HOW MANY LINKS TO REMOVE
Place the watch around your wrist with the folding clasp
closed, and use the overlap to estimate the number of surplus
bracelet links you can now remove as described below. If
you need to shorten the bracelet by several links, we recom-
mend removing the same number of links from each half of

Reinsert the external link with the two hinged links, which
was removed at the beginning, back into the bracelet (4).
Now you can slide the opposing external bracelet link back
into the bracelet until it lies flush, by simultaneously pressing
down its fixing bolt (5).
To finish, check that the fixing bolts are sitting correctly (6).
These must be brought up flush with the upper edge of the
external links.
Keep the surplus links and separating tool in a safe place for
use in any adjustments at another time.
day, depending on temperature and physical exertion. Before
you remove individual bracelet links, depending on the time of
day you should have the fine-adjustment system on the clasp
closed (in the morning) or open (in the evening).
REMOVING INDIVIDUAL LINKS AND
ATTACHING THE BRACELET
Repeat steps 1 to 3 at the distance from the first point of
separation you have just determined.
Remove the unnecessary links and reassemble the shortened
bracelet. When reassembling the central link, make sure that
the outside is still facing downwards.

Watches with a soft-iron inner case provide a higher level of
protection against magnetic fields and far exceed the require-
ments of DIN standard 8309. Nevertheless, it is still pos-
sible for the watch movement to become magnetized in close
proximity to very strong magnets. We therefore recommend
that watches with a soft-iron inner case also be kept away
from direct contact with strong magnets.
Should there be a sudden change in the precision of your
timepiece, please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent
to have your watch checked for magnetism.
INFORMATION ABOUT MAGNETIC FIELDS
As a result of the ever greater prevalence in recent years of
very strong magnets made from rare-earth alloys (e.g. neo-
dymium-iron-boron) – these are found in objects such as loud-
speakers and mobile phones and fasteners on jewellery as
well as handbags – mechanical watches are increasingly likely
to come into contact with such magnets and become mag-
netized. This can lead to the watch rate being permanently
affected, a problem that can only be resolved by a process of
demagnetization carried out by a specialist. We recommend
that you keep your watch away from such magnets.

To ensure that your watch stays properly water-resistant, you
should have it checked by an IWC service centre at least once
a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to
unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as
stipulated, or if the watch is opened by unauthorized persons,
IWC will accept no warranty or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must
carry out a water-resistance test whenever your IWC watch
is opened and serviced.
WATER-RESISTANCE
The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not in
metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch
industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be equated with
dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently
used. Water-resistance shown in metres provides no indication
as to actual use of the watch in the presence of moisture and
wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use
in connection with the water-resistance of your watch can
be found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance.
Your authorized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased to
provide you with information.

quickly the metal darkens. This is a natural process influenced
by skin contact, humidity, exposure to the elements, etc.
– The surface will not darken uniformly; darker areas and
blemishes may develop.
– Bronze is a traditional material which is not as resistant to
corrosion as those often used in the watchmaking industry
such as stainless steel, titanium, gold and platinum.
– Skin contact will cause bronze to develop a typical metallic
odour when worn (similar to that of coins).
NOTE
If your watch has a strap made of leather, textile or rubber
with a leather or textile inlay, make sure that the high-quality
strap does not come into contact with water, oily substances,
solvents, cleaning agents or cosmetic products. This way
you can prevent discoloration and premature ageing of the
material.
The patina which develops over time protects the metal. It is
caused by oxidation, and is similar to the tarnish which can
be seen on items made of silver. The environment to which
the metal is exposed and how often it is used affects how

SERVICING YOUR
PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE
Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from
top-quality materials, a number of components are subject
to natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure
that the points at which wear occurs are always well lubri-
cated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regu-
larly removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have
your watch serviced approximately every 5 years. Please
contact an authorized IWC Official Agent.
