The 1996 IWC Flieger Chronograph Reference 3706-003 is a beloved classic from IWC’s pilot watch lineage, celebrated for its clean utilitarian design, exceptional legibility, and robust build. This example is presented in excellent condition, offering collectors a beautifully preserved early execution of one of the brand’s most iconic chronographs.

The watch features the signature matte black pilot’s dial, complete with crisp white Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and the tri-compax chronograph layout that has become synonymous with the Flieger line. Its 39mm stainless steel case retains sharp lines and a strong profile, reflecting careful and minimal wear over the years.

Accompanying the watch is its original IWC leather strap paired with the factory deployant buckle, a detail seldom found on examples of this age. This piece also comes with its original papers, hang tag, and IWC service documentation from 2019, providing valuable provenance and ensuring continued reliability of the movement.

A cornerstone of 1990s tool-watch design, this Reference 3706-003 represents the perfect blend of military-inspired functionality and refined Swiss craftsmanship—an outstanding addition to any IWC or pilot watch collection.
