August 18 as well is the date when John Gillespie Magee Jr. a WWII fighter wrote the famous Poem High Flight just a few months before his death.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, –and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of –Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air…
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
IWC is sponsoring this historic event & released At the 2019 Salon International de La Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva, under it’s Pilot’s collection.


For this special event, IWC dedicated a special limited edition watch which is the Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Spitfire Edition “The Longest Flight” (ref. IW395501). For the first time ever at IWC, it combines the patented Timezoner mechanism with an entirely automatic IWC in house movement, limited to just 250 watches.

What’s unique about this Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) watch is the Timezoner. A feature that enables you with a single turn of the bezel displays the time, including 24-hour display, and the date for a new time zone & can be adjusted forwards and backwards.
