The IWC IW377701 Pilot’s Chronograph is a distinguished timepiece from the International Watch Company (IWC), a brand known for its precision engineering and robust design, particularly in the field of aviation watches. Introduced as part of the IWC Pilot’s Watch series, the IW377701 draws inspiration from the brand’s rich history of crafting watches for aviators dating back to the 1930s. This model features a classic 43mm stainless steel case, a black dial with bold white Arabic numerals for enhanced legibility, and three sub-dials arranged in a tri-compax layout. The day-date complication at the 3 o’clock position and the anti-reflective sapphire crystal further underscore its utility as a pilot’s instrument. The chronograph function, controlled by prominent pushers, allows for precise timing — an essential tool for pilots navigating the skies.
Under the hood, the IW377701 is powered by the IWC Calibre 79320, a reliable automatic movement based on the venerable Valjoux 7750. This movement offers a power reserve of approximately 44 hours and is known for its robustness and ease of servicing — qualities highly valued in aviation contexts. The watch also boasts a soft-iron inner case to protect against magnetic fields, reinforcing its role as a functional pilot’s tool. Though it was eventually succeeded by more recent iterations like the IW377709, the IW377701 remains a beloved model among collectors for its balance of traditional pilot watch aesthetics, practical complications, and historical relevance within IWC’s celebrated aviation lineage.
