IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XV Spitfire Ref. IW3253

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XV Spitfire Ref. IW3253 is a refined, vintage-inspired timepiece that combines clean aviation design with timeless elegance. This Spitfire variant features a 38mm stainless steel case, a radiant silver sunburst dial, and a classic brown leather strap for a more heritage-inspired look.

At its core is the reliable IWC Caliber 37524 automatic movement (ETA 2892-A2 base), protected by a soft iron inner cage for anti-magnetic shielding. The highly legible dial includes luminous Arabic numerals and hands, a date window at 3 o’clock, and the signature triangle marker at 12 — a staple of IWC’s pilot lineage.

A perfect daily-wear piece for collectors and enthusiasts, this example comes without box or papers, and is ideal for someone seeking a clean, well-proportioned Swiss pilot’s watch with vintage charm.
