2000 IWC Der Fliegerchronograph
A Fliegerchronograph with a marvelous black dial, a satin brushed case, and the Valjoux 7750 automatic movement.
Overview
In 1994, fresh off the success of the Doppelchronograph and the Mark XII, IWC expanded its modern Pilot’s watch line with the introduction of the Fliegerchronograph reference 3706. The new watch marked a mechanical evolution of the previous Mecha-Quartz chronograph, now equipped with a heavily modified Valjoux 7750 movement that was finished and regulated in-house. The external design retained the same utilitarian DNA as IWC’s other Pilot’s watches—stark white Arabic numerals and baton hands set against a matte black dial for ultimate legibility.
This example gains a splash of color—and a bit of charm we might add—from the naturally aged tritium across the dial and hands. It also comes with a plethora of OEM fittings, including the original alligator strap, an additional textile strap, and a robustly engineered rubber strap with IWC’s proprietary EasX-CHANGE system. The whole package, from fit to finish, is masterfully executed and a testament to the high level of craftsmanship that IWC’s watchmakers have consistently achieved over time.

Condition
Case: The satin brushed case shows normal wear with a few light scratches, faint scuffs, and tiny nicks throughout. The lugs are nice and strong, with excellent definition at the edges and chamfers still present. The polished top portion of the bezel remains crisp at the edges with a few tiny scuffs, hairlines, and micro nicks. The caseback shows numerous hairlines and a couple tiny scratches, but the finishing is preserved. The model and serial number engravings remain sharp and deep.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The matte black dial and polished paddle hands are in fantastic condition with no notable imperfections and fully intact tritium. The tritium hands have aged to a lighter color than the dial markers. Both exhibit no lasting glow when exposed to UV light. The sapphire crystal is squeaky clean and scratch-free.
Bracelet/Strap: All three IWC straps are in great condition with very little wear. The IWC-signed tang buckle has a couple hairlines and tiny scuffs, but no major blemishes. The brand engraving remains crisp and detailed.
