Imagine if both of them would wear an iconic watch as well...

Like the IWC Mk 11!

The IWC Mk 11 is a bit younger than the Spitfire but not much...
Guess IWC will equip them with a more modern watch, but still a pilots watch!

A very cool adventure.

And great marketing, of course. You always have the perfect watch, don't you? If they were picking from the current lineup, I would go with the Mark XVIII Heritage, as it is the closest to the original. But, as you said, I guess they will go with something a bit more complicated.

The question is, where they invest better, in marketing like this fligth or in a good inhouse automatic caliber. Mark i dont know with Sellita?

One more spitfire up in the air, that's good news! A tribute to mk11 would be nice too :) Thanks for sharing. I'll look up in the air this summer! Best, É. [nt]
