Is the IWC IW3713-13 worth buying?

It suits buyers who want a gold pilot chronograph from a major Swiss maker. Compare the asking price against recent sold prices for gold IWC chronographs before committing.

How does it compare with the steel IWC Pilot Chronograph?

The steel version is lighter, cheaper and less flashy. The gold IW3713-13 adds weight and dressier looks but costs far more and shows scratches more readily.

At 42mm wide and 16.2mm thick it wears large. It fits wrists of about 7 inches and up; smaller wrists may find it top-heavy.

No. Water resistance is 60m, which covers splashes and rain but not swimming or diving.

What movement does it use?

It uses IWC caliber 79230, an automatic movement with chronograph and calendar functions.

What comes in the box?

A complete set should include the watch on its alligator strap, the IWC warranty card and paperwork. Confirm the box and papers with the seller, since they affect resale value.

Our take on the IWC Pilot IW3713-13 Yellow Gold 42mm

The IWC Pilot IW3713-13 is a 42mm pilot's chronograph in yellow gold with a black dial, Arabic numerals and an alligator strap. It runs IWC's caliber 79230 automatic movement with chronograph and calendar functions, and it is rated to 60m with sapphire glass. At 16.2mm thick it is a substantial, dressy take on the classic Flieger look. Gold-cased IWC chronographs hold value well and trade in a narrow band, so any listing near the low end of recent sold prices is worth a close look.
