IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph IW3717-01
IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph IW3717-01
For us, when we think of IWC we think of Pilot's watches, and the IW3717-01 is as classic an IWC Pilot's watch as it gets.
The satin finished stainless steel case is perfectly sized at 42mm, with classic IWC proportions including 21mm lug spacing creating more balance without the visual width of a 22mm. Though they're thicker than some other pieces due to the movement used, but they hide it very well with a thin mid-case, so much of the depth is hidden in the inset case back. Some folks steer clear because of this on-paper thickness, but in reality it's very well balanced and very nicely proportioned.
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, which is then modified by IWC with a new balance wheel and gear train, as well as an upgraded balance wheel and mainspring.
This example is mounted to a supple ColaReb Napoli strap in Grey, with ColaReb pin buckle.
This particular piece would date from the 2000’s and presents in TZ good condition. The case shows scracthes and small dings and nicks form regular use, but nothing large. Case back shows scratching and scuffs. Some light marks on the external AR coating. See images for full condition details.
Serviced in 2018, it is keeping COSC time. All functions operating as they should.
Comes with IWC travel case, IWC warranty card (expired), service receipt, instruction booklet, guarantee booklet (has scribble on the front cover) and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
An lovely example of a very desirable piece from our favourite period of IWC watchmaking.
