IWC Pilot Aéronavale edition
Feb 26, 2021,14:39 PM
Hello all,
Has anyone ever seen this watch? It seems to be a special edition for the French Navy Pilots (Aéronavale in French). Photo was taken on the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, the only aircraft carrier of the French forces. You can recognise Dassauly Rafale aiplanes in the background.
I find the limited edition very nice, rather subtle and well balanced!
Anyone knows if it can be purchased? I would love one!
Best,
E.

Thankfully, we all have choices. But, in an age where day/dates are displayed in car instrument clusters, smartphones, tablets, notebooks, PC's and even speaking apparatus (Alexa, etc.), it makes a date on a mechanical watch's dial rather redundant. Add t...

I think I've read or heard from someone that you can only order these if you belong to a/this certain squadron. Not everyone chooses to order one either. So I doubt an outsider could get one.

I got the answer from IWC: this model is not for sale. So, to be hunted on the used-watch market in few years time... Best, E.
