IWC - PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH EDITION “THE LAST FLIGHT” WATCH
 
The Last Flight is a designation of the last Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s flight in his career. After taking off from a military base in Corsica, his Lockheed P-38 Lightning disappeared without a trace.

IWC Schaffhausen commemorates his Last Flight with three special edition watches.
These watches features self-winding mechanical chronograph movement (Calibre 89361) with 68h power reserve. It brings to life : stopwatch function with hours, minutes and seconds, chronograph (minutes and hours linked in a counter at 12 o’clock and seconds counter with date window at 6 o’clock). It has also flyback function. Whole movement is hidden in a brown silicon nitride ceramic 46mm diameter case. We can find sapphire glass with antireflective coating on both sides.
The water resistance in this watch is 6 bars. On the back we can see a special “The Last Flight” engraving.
