International Watch Co., Schaffhausen, "Fliegeruhr UTC", Case No. 3082711, Ref. IW325107, Cal. IWC 37526, 39 mm, circa 2005
An aviator's automatic wristwatch in near mint condition, with centre seconds, date and 24 hours indicator - with original box, guarantee card and operating instructions
Case: steel, screw back, IWC buckle. Dial: two-tone silvered.
As early as in the 1930s, IWC began producing timekeepers specially for aviation. The UTC - for Universal Time Coordinated - eventually became IWC’s passport to the Jet Age. For travellers frequently crossing continents and time zones or for those who communicate across the globe round the clock, this timepiece is an essential companion. Its 24-hour display shows Universal time (based on Greenwich Mean Time) and allows the date disc not just to advance but also to get back if the International Date Line is crossed.
