IWC Pilot's Chronograph 'Le Petit Prince'

There is perhaps no more versatile complication than the chronograph.  From race cars to rocket ships, boats to battlefields, you are likely to find a chronograph being employed to measure a plethora of tasks and times. From the Greek khrónos (“time”) and gráphō (“to write”), a chronograph is a watch that has the ability to record time, generally via the addition of small sub-counters that register minutes and hours.  And what better use for a chronograph than within the confines of a pilot’s watch? IWC makes some of the finest pilot’s watches in the world, with a history stretching back to the early decades of the 20th century.  This particular watch, the Pilot’s Chronograph 'Le Petit Prince', features a 43mm stainless steel case with pump pushers, a signed screw-down crown, a sapphire crystal, IWC's Calibre 79320 automatic-winding chronograph movement with a day and date complication, and an excellent multi-link bracelet to match. This piece remains in outstanding, mint condition and comes with all of its goodies. Handsome, well sized and featuring a knockout movement, it would be tough to argue that this reference 377717 isn’t one of the best values in pilot’s chronographs available today.
