Soon after having launched the "Jubilee Edition" (here) IWC debuts a new Limited Edition Pilot's watch: the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition JU-AIR. This chronograph celebrates the longstanding partnership between the manufacture from Schaffausen and the swiss airline that owns four historical Junkers JU-52 aircrafts, one of them has carried the IWC logo on its wings throughout Europe over the last 20 years.

JUNKER JU52-IWCThe IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition JU-AIR is a special edition of the IWC Spitfire Chrono, a mechanical automatic chronograph with flyback function equipped with the in-house manufactured caliber 89365, that ensures 68 hours of power reserve, and boasting a 43mm wide and 15,5mm high stainless steel case. This edition, made in just 500 pieces, follows up the amazing Tribeca 2014 Edition and is therefore the second addition in a row, this year, to the Spitfire collection.
