IWC Pilot Doppelchronograph Double Chronograph IW3713-03
IWC Pilot Doppelchronograph Double Chronograph IW3713-03
A personal favourite of ours, and an absolute classic in Schaffhausen watchmaking, the IW3713 is the prototypical Pilot’s watch from IWC with their signature split seconds complication.
The brushed stainless steel case is perfectly sized at 42mm, with the IWC fish-style crown still in place. It houses a beautiful flight-deck inspired black dial with luminova markers at 3,6 and 9 with Arabic numerals filling in the other positions. A classic day and date window lies at 3, with double-quickset feature. The movement powering it is based on the high-grade ETA 7750, but it is so heavily modified that it is barely an ETA any longer. IWC add a split second chronograph complication, IWC's own balance, hairspring, regulator, train wheels and power supply, and the movement was designed by Richard Habring of Habring2 fame. It is now known as the IWC caliber 79230, and for all intents and purposes is now an in-house movement.
It is mounted to the magnificent IWC 'gator strap with steel IWC tang buckle.
This particular piece would date from the mid-90’s to early-00’s and presents in TZ good condition. The case and case back are in lovely condition, with a few small scratches on the rear of the lugs from strap changes some light marks around the case. Grading is downgraded to TZ ‘Good’ from ‘Excellent’ due to the presences of some tiny nicks on the bezel and bevel lines under close inspection. See images for full condition details.
Unknown service history, but would appear to have been looked at in the not too distant past as it’s running within COSC specs at close to 300 degrees of amplitude. All functions operating as they should.
Comes with Watch Vault travel pod and Watch Vault cleaning cloth. No box or papers.
An amazing example of a very desirable piece from our favourite period of IWC watchmaking.
