Looked it up ,its a Sillitoe Tartan . American police use a two row band , usually blue and white while UK police use a three row band.
IIRC the TIN TIN reference comes from markings on a rocket, perhaps a nod to the RAF. Found one image of an RAF dress uniform cap with red and white checked band.
Colors vary with London Police and an Australian ambulance service using three row red and white.

·I think they must have coated this watch with some addictive substance because, I still cannot get it off my wrist. Despite all the other pretty faces.
Oh, and the band that came with it is surprisingly comfortable.
I know, in another thread, a number of members have criticized this watch’s price point. I can make an argument that the ceramic case justifies a good portion of what it costs over IWC’s other three hand pilot watches. But clearly I have paid for exclusivity, which can be difficult to value objectively. At least they only made 500, not 2,000 or 5,000, like some manufacturers we know. 🙄
“The heart wants what the heart wants.” While most may not share my infatuation with this watch, everyone here understands the underlying concept/problem. Akin to irresistible impulse. 🤨 Right? 😗
