The IWC Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Edition “Le Petit Prince” (ref. IW395503) blends travel-ready utility with the poetic legacy of Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry. A 2021 limited edition of 1,500 pieces, it features the signature deep blue sunray dial exclusive to the “Le Petit Prince” series – a striking contrast to the utilitarian aesthetic typical of IWC's pilot lineage.

At 46mm across in polished and brushed stainless steel, the case houses IWC’s in-house calibre 82760 with Pellaton winding and ceramic components for enhanced durability. The Timezoner bezel mechanism allows the wearer to adjust the time zone by simply rotating the bezel, with hour hand, 24-hour display, and date synchronizing automatically. This practical complication is managed without stopping the movement – essential for frequent flyers. Water-resistant to 60 m, the watch balances ruggedness with thoughtful functionality.

Ref. IW395503 stands apart for combining IWC's aviation heritage with technical innovation, wrapped in one of the brand’s most recognisable limited-edition designs. For collectors seeking both mechanical interest and narrative depth, it offers a rare intersection of tool-watch performance and literary tribute.
