ZF Factory IWC Pilot Bronze Spitfire UTC detailed review:

First, let's look at its external dimensions: diameter is 40.9 mm, thickness is 13.8 mm; It is exactly the same as the original, very beautiful. The entire dial is dark green. IWC's bronze watches almost always use this dial color match, and indeed, the bronze paired with the dark green dial creates the best combination. Panerai bronze 382 is the best proof of this. Because of the unique feature of the bronze case, it enters into chemical oxidation and reduction reactions with molecules in the air and creates old and new color tones; That's why this retro tone of dark green goes with almost everything.

ZF Factory Dial is essentially the same as the original in terms of color; There is no visible color difference. Additionally, the dial has a matte finish. Looking at the experience of ZF Factory in producing IWC Mark series watches in the past, the similarity rate is also assured in this watch; Therefore, there is no problem in terms of appearance.

There is a date window on 3 sides of the dial, similar to the original. The second time zone, GMT, is displayed in the fan-shaped window at 12 o'clock. Lume coating has been applied to the hour and minute hands on the dial; In fact, the length and size of the hour and minute hands are exactly the same, so you can read the time clearly even in environments with insufficient light.

The screw-down bronze winding crown on the side is designed with fine workmanship; IWC's classic logo is engraved on the upper crown of the crown, clear and neat. In addition, a matte finish has been applied to the entire case, the curve of the ears is natural, and the joints at both ends are extremely tight; This reveals the quality that should be in the ZF Factory factory.

The case has a closed back design and is made of anti-allergy titanium material. The inscriptions on the middle edge of the case back are also extremely clear and distinct. The Spitfire fighter jet logo is engraved in the middle of the case back; The depth of the processing is also quite appropriate. The entire case back looks flawless.

As for the movement: ZF used the Seagull 2836 movement; The original carries the 82710 movement. This mechanism also works very stable and precise, so there is no need to worry about the mechanism.

The strap is made of Italian brown calfskin; The stitching is smooth throughout and the grip is extremely nice. It just takes a little getting used to when first put on, but it becomes quite comfortable over time.

The buckle is a simple bronze buckle. The IWC text is embroidered on the buckle and the depth of the engraving is also appropriate; Essentially there is no significant problem. The combination of the dark green dial and the bronze case reflects an intense retro atmosphere.

Finally, let's sum up: We clearly saw that this watch is extremely good in terms of both external appearance, workmanship and movement stability. Additionally, the watch has a unique look and material, and the dial is a rare dark green color. Thanks to the unique feature of its case and its rich playability, it has a retro and nostalgic atmosphere, and can be renewed and made shiny; A single watch offers two different wearing styles and gives you a variety of options when matching it with your clothes.
