We already took a look at the IWC Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Ref. 3791 a few months ago. For technical details we will refer you to that post. The subject of this post is aesthetics, well really just to share some really nice pictures. Thanks to Ace Jewelers, we can give you real life renders of IWC's new creation.

Ever since seeing the original rose gold IWC Pilots chronograph I found the rose gold and brown leather combo with the stark black and white dial pleasing. It has a nice balance of bling contrasted by a business like dial. The Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month has decidedly more bling with gold outlines on the hour markers and hands. I am not too much of a fan of the big windows for the day and month display. But, aesthetic matters are always a subjective thing. And given the large array of pilots chronograph watches which IWC unveiled this year, it does seem right that this one be designed to be a flashier model.
At the back, the rotor of the watch has an a Supermarine Spitfire engraved on it. A really nice touch, I think.
About IWC. IWC or the the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" was founded by an American engineer from Boston, Florentine Ariosto Jones, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in the year 1868. IWC Schaffhausen is notable for being the only major Swiss watch factory located in eastern Switzerland, as the majority of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers are located in western Switzerland.
