IWC UTC Spitfire 3251-06, Box, Manuals, 2024 Service Papers, 2 Pilot Straps

Description: IWC UTC Spitfire 3251-06, Box , Manuals, 2024 Service Papers, 2 Pilot Straps Received a full service, new crystal, new hands, and a light polish from IWC last year($880 in total). Currently running well within COSC on the timegrapher. Included in the sale is the watch, the original inner and outer box, instruction manual, IWC service papers from 2024, the pictured Rios and Fluco pilot straps with IWC buckles($190), and an IWC service/travel case. What I love about this watch is the classic pilot watch design and the added functionality of a UTC timer. With a 39mm case, a 12mm thickness, 47.75 lug to lug, this classically proportioned case will fit most wrists nicely. The Arabic numerals, black dial, and pilot's handset are all classic IWC details. Compared to the Mark XVI of the same era, I find this reference's use of applied arabic indices more interesting and it's traveler's GMT functionality more useful. Housed inside this UTC is the IWC caliber 30710 which is based on the ETA 2892. Unlike the standard 2892 however, this caliber has been modified to a traveler's UTC. Pulling out the screw down crown to the second position allows for the jumping forward and backwards of the hour hand independent of the UTC readout. While this functionality is common today, it was rather unusual in the mid aughts. The movement is also housed in a soft iron cage for resistance to magnetic fields. Happy to answer any questions.
