IWC Fliegerchronograph chrono Pilot b&p

The IWC Fliegerchronograf Ref. 3706 sits at the core of IWC’s return to functional pilot chronographs in the 1990s—a distilled successor to the military Mark XI philosophy: legibility first, ego never. Introduced in 1994, the 3706 became the brand’s modern tool-watch benchmark, a watch built when IWC still engineered for pilots rather than lifestyle catalogues.

Inside beats the Valjoux-based cal. 7922, heavily reworked by IWC with upgraded regulation, shock absorption and finishing. It’s not romantic, it’s not haute horlogerie—it's a brutally reliable engine designed to run without drama. At 39mm, with a compact profile and disciplined dial layout, the watch nails the proportion modern collectors keep circling back to.

This 2001 example is just serviced and a super full set: boxes, documents, tags, plus the additional original crocodile strap with IWC buckle. It comes equipped with the rare IWC steel beads-of-rice bracelet, known for its surprising comfort and refined construction.

What defines the 3706 is its robustness: a case built to take hits, a movement tuned for longevity, and a design that remains instantly readable in any condition. It’s the kind of quality that doesn’t shout—it simply endures.
