Lady Pilot's Watch Mark XII Yellow Gold / Black / Strap

In Context

At 28 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. At 8.7 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 60 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW4421-03 is one of 2 executions of the IW4421 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a black dial and a yellow gold case.
