IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince” Ref. IW377714 – Full Set

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince” Ref. IW377714 is a distinctive and highly recognizable interpretation of IWC Schaffhausen’s legendary aviation-inspired chronograph. Featuring the signature midnight-blue dial, a substantial stainless-steel case, and a classic dark brown leather strap, this special edition combines traditional pilot-watch styling with the elegance and character associated with IWC’s “Le Petit Prince” collection.

The centerpiece of the IW377714 is its striking midnight-blue dial, a signature characteristic of IWC’s “Le Petit Prince” editions. Depending on the lighting, the dial transitions between rich navy and brighter blue tones, giving the watch impressive visual depth.

Large white Arabic numerals, luminous hour markers, and bold luminous hands provide excellent readability while preserving the cockpit-instrument aesthetic for which IWC Pilot’s Watches are famous.

Three chronograph subdials are positioned across the dial, providing a balanced and purposeful layout. A subtle red accent on the small-seconds hand adds contrast without distracting from the traditional aviation-inspired appearance.

At approximately 3 o’clock is IWC’s practical day and date display, allowing both functions to be read quickly at a glance.

The watch is housed in a robust 43mm stainless-steel case, providing substantial wrist presence while maintaining the clean proportions of a traditional pilot chronograph.

The combination of brushed and polished surfaces gives the case a refined appearance while emphasizing its tool-watch heritage. The prominent crown and chronograph pushers are positioned on the right side of the case for convenient operation.

A convex sapphire crystal protects the dial and features anti-reflective treatment to improve visibility in different lighting conditions.

Water resistance is rated to approximately 60 meters / 6 bar.

Powering the IW377714 is the reliable IWC Calibre 79320 automatic mechanical chronograph movement.

Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the movement provides precise chronograph functionality along with hours, minutes, small seconds, day, and date indications.

The Calibre 79320 contains 25 jewels and provides approximately 44 hours of power reserve when fully wound.

A soft-iron inner case provides additional protection for the mechanical movement against magnetic fields, continuing the functional engineering traditions associated with IWC’s professional Pilot’s Watches.

The IW377714 offers a complete mechanical chronograph complication capable of measuring elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds.

Its three-subdial configuration gives the dial the unmistakable appearance of a professional aviation instrument while maintaining excellent everyday usability.

The watch also features small hacking seconds, allowing the seconds hand to be stopped when setting the time for greater precision.

One of the defining characteristics of this edition is its specially designed case back celebrating “Le Petit Prince” (The Little Prince).

This distinctive detail separates the IW377714 from the standard IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph and highlights the longstanding connection between IWC and the works of French author and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Completing the watch is a dark brown calfskin leather strap with contrasting stitching. The rich brown leather provides an elegant contrast against the midnight-blue dial and stainless-steel case while preserving the traditional appearance of an aviation watch.

The strap measures approximately 21mm at the lugs and complements the substantial proportions of the 43mm case.
