IWC Pilot's Watch Double Chrono DFB LE - Ref. IW371803

Heritage & Design

Created in collaboration with the German Football Association (DFB), this limited-edition IWC Pilot’s Watch combines the brand’s aviation heritage with the technical sophistication of a split-seconds chronograph. Also known as a rattrapante, this complication allows two elapsed times to be measured simultaneously. Its uncommon DFB configuration, distinctive white panda dial and mechanical complexity make it an appealing proposition for collectors, offering considerable value within the luxury split-seconds chronograph market.

Case & Details

This Double Chronograph features a 44mm stainless steel case with a white dial, contrasting black chronograph registers and Arabic numeral hour markers. Day and date displays are positioned at 3 o’clock, while an additional pusher at 10 o’clock operates the split-seconds function. A sapphire crystal and stainless steel bracelet complete the design. Water resistance was originally rated to 60 metres.

Movement & Provenance

Powered by the IWC calibre 79230 automatic split-seconds chronograph movement, based on the Valjoux 7750 architecture and offering an approximately 44-hour power reserve. Offered as a watch-only example, circa 2008. With its limited-edition status and relatively accessible entry point into the world of mechanical rattrapante chronographs, this reference represents an interesting opportunity for IWC enthusiasts. For complete peace of mind, this timepiece is accompanied by our 24 month J. Farren Price warranty.
