The Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Edition “Le Petit Prince” Story

The Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Edition “Le Petit Prince” features a stainless steel case, a midnight-blue dial, a rotating bezel made of blue ceramic as well as white numerals and hands. The patented timezoner function is an excellent example of IWC engineering: the complication is ingenious, robustly built, and easy to use.

The design is inspired by the puristic instrument design of the Mark 11. The iconic navigation watch was produced in Schaffhausen for the Royal Air Force from 1948 and was worn by many of the pilots and navigators serving at that time.​

It allows the user to effortlessly change between different timezones by simply pressing and turning the bezel to the desired location. The mechanism works without stopping the movement, thus not losing a single second in the process, even across the dateline.

The 24-hour display takes the form of a rotating disc below the dial, which significantly enhances its legibility.

The IWC-manufactured 82760 calibre movement powers the timezoner function. The decoration IWC, with circular graining and circular Geneva stripes, as well as an 18k gold medallion on the rotor depicting Saint-Exupery’s character.

Used in aviation for all communication and navigation purposes, the UTC function makes it easy to set a second time zone. When turning the crown when in its central position, the hour hand moves forward or backward in hourly increments.

If the dial crosses the International Date Line, the date display changes automatically. The time in the wearer's home country can be read via the curved UTC display in the top half of the dial. The 82710 IWC-manufactured calibre has a Pellaton winding with ceramic components and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours.
