IWC Pilot Chronograph Ceratanium Tribute To 3705 Ltd Edition 2022 (Full-Set/Mint)

IWC Pilot’s Chronograph “Tribute to 3705” – Limited Edition Ceratanium (1 of 1000)

IWC Schaffhausen is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer known for blending precision engineering with purposeful design, especially within its Pilot’s Watch collection. Since the 1930s, IWC has produced aviation-inspired timepieces that emphasize legibility, durability, and technical innovation—core principles that continue to define the brand today.

The IWC Pilot’s Chronograph “Tribute to 3705” is a limited-edition reissue of one of the brand’s most cult-favorite models—the original 3705 Fliegerchronograph from 1994. That model was one of the first ceramic chronographs and developed a strong following due to its tool-watch functionality and distinctive design.

This modern reinterpretation replaces the original ceramic with Ceratanium, IWC’s proprietary material that fuses the lightweight strength of titanium with the scratch resistance of ceramic. The “Tribute to 3705” stays true to its roots with a no-nonsense pilot dial and robust 41mm case, while benefiting from a modern movement and updated strap system. Limited to 1,000 individually numbered pieces, it represents both a technical evolution and a nod to IWC’s aviation legacy.
