A few years back, Panerai made waves in the watch industry with the release of the Luminor Submersible 1950 PAM 382, which sparked a bronze trend. This marked the beginning of XF’s journey with bronze. Following that success, XF introduced a series of remarkable timepieces made of bronze, including the PAM 507, PAM 671, Zenith Type 20 Pilot Extra Special, and Tudor Black Bay Bronzo. These creations showcased XF’s dedication to researching and utilizing bronze in their watch-making process. Today, XF has unveiled their latest masterpiece, the IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch, which stands as the first bronze timepiece from IWC
Creating a bronze case itself may not be a challenging task, but the real difficulty lies in achieving the desired oxidation result at a controlled pace. XF has been diligently researching this aspect, and their efforts are evident in the impeccable oxidized finish of the 1:1 Replica IWC Pilot Spitfire. The achieved result is remarkably close to the genuine counterpart. In contrast, when comparing the bronze cases from smaller factories, you may notice uneven oxidation and even the presence of rusty spots. XF’s dedication to achieving a consistent and high-quality oxidized color sets them apart.
Why should you consider purchasing the IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch from the XF factory? Here are some compelling reasons:
- Skilled Assembly: The watch is meticulously assembled by experienced watch masters in a professional factory, ensuring the accuracy and stability of each Spitfire bronze watch.
- Rigorous Testing: Every piece of IWC bronze Spitfire from XF factory undergoes thorough testing with professional instruments, providing assurance of its water resistance.
- Attention to Quality: The watch undergoes a comprehensive appearance and dust quality check. Only watches that meet stringent quality standards, free from any minor flaws, are made available to the public.
- Swiss Standards of Accuracy: Each XF IWC Spitfire Bronze watch is tested for accuracy according to Swiss standards, with precision controlled within 15 seconds.
- Reliable Movement Choice: XF opted for the Sea-gull 2824 automatic movement, known for its widespread use and stability. After careful consideration among options like Sea-Gull 2892, 2836, 2824, and Citizen 9015, XF selected the Sea-Gull 2824 due to its suitability for this watch. While the genuine watch uses the IWC In-House 32110 movement, XF chose the most stable alternative to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, the Sea-Gull 2824 eliminates the loud auto rotor sound associated with the Citizen 9015, making it a more suitable choice for this particular watch.
