help IWC Pilot's Watch GMT FAQ
Does the IWC Pilot's Watch GMT use a traditional GMT hand or IWC's Timezoner system?
That depends on the reference: IWC's older Pilot's Watch UTC models use a 24-hour display, while Pilot's Watch Timezoner models change time zones through the bezel. On the Timezoner, rotating the city bezel moves the hour display and date in one-hour steps.
When did IWC begin making Pilot's Watches with a second time-zone display?
IWC introduced the Pilot's Watch UTC in 1998 and later incorporated it into the Spitfire family. The company's modern travel-watch line also includes the Pilot's Watch Timezoner Spitfire and Timezoner TOP GUN.
Can an IWC Pilot's Watch GMT show daylight-saving time correctly?
IWC Timezoner bezels include 24 reference cities, with an additional S marking used for daylight-saving time where applicable. It remains the wearer's responsibility to select the correct city or summer-time position.
Is the IWC Pilot's Watch GMT an automatic mechanical watch?
The established IWC Pilot's Watch UTC and Timezoner references are mechanical watches rather than quartz travel watches. Current Timezoner models use an IWC-manufactured automatic movement, with some versions offering a 60-hour power reserve.
