IWC has announced an homage watch that pays tribute to the ref. 3705 "Fliegerchronograph Keramik," a piece from the 1990s that today stands as a legitimate cult classic. It was not terribly popular at launch, it was only offered for a few years, only around 1,000 were made, and when the watch was discontinued, it seemed destined to fade into oblivion.

However, as with so many cult classics (from Nick Drake records to The Big Lebowski), in recent years the 3705 has become increasingly popular – and the very features that made it non-mainstream to the point of obscurity at launch have put it in demand. Prices have been steadily rising, and with the original 3705 avidly sought after by IWC fans, and fans of vintage and near-vintage watches as well, IWC decided to make a new version of what was never an old favorite, but what is now a new rising star in the vintage world: The Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition "Tribute to 3705."
