The IWC Flieger or what we simply know as the Pilot goes all the way back in the 1940s with their infamous Mark XI. Under the helm of Gunther Blümlein, IWC made the iconic Flieger available to the general public.
The philosophy of IWC in the early 1990s was to make complications more accessible. With helps from talented watchmakers of the time ; Giulio Papi, Dominic Renaud, Kurt Klaus and Richard Habring, IWC created many impressive timepieces such as the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, il Destriero Scafusia and the Pilot Doppelchronograph.
Introduced in 1992, the IWC 3711 measures at 42mm diameter with 16.5mm thick case. Contributing to the thickness is the modular split-second chronograph complication developed by Richard Habring and the soft-iron inner case back that protect the movement from magnetism.
It has a matte black dial with tritium lime plots very quarters with highly legible white printed numerals and texts. It displays the day and date through two windows at 3. It has the distinct “fish crown” indicating the water resistance and only on this reference 3711 it has a domed sapphire crystal.
Powering the IWC 3711 is the Cal. 79030 that is based on a Valjoux 7750 with a modular split-second chronograph mechanism designed by Richard Habring. He managed to simplified a highly complex mechanism to create the world’s first serially produced split-second chronograph movement.
