With travelling becoming an absolute necessity, staying in touch has never been this imperative.

The Pilot’s watch series was devised in the early 1930’s and since then has been a major design language that the company reinvented through the ages. Each Pilot’s watch stays unique in character yet follows the simple trend of the original watch.

A beauty that has been packed with some incredible features, this model makes globetrotting oh so fun! The dial shows the current local time and when the user passes through one or more time zones, he can easily adjust the watch to its current time zone by either adjusting forward or backward in one hour steps. This feature works even when one is crossing the International Date Line. That’s not all, when one is adjusting the time, the date will automatically sync according to the new time zone! The dial design is based on the classic IWC Pilot design and has the same black background as the earlier various with the hour marker configuration. Not compromising on style at all, the striking black dial is housed in a stainless steel case. White tones hour hands and index markers engrave the dial. The sword shaped hands are filled with lume. This allows the owner to get the exact minute reading off the hand and allows more accuracy. The triangle at 12 o’ clock filled with lume is a trademark which is seen throughout the Pilot series and shines nicely with a charge. The superluminova on the dial makes it a comfortable wear for night visibility as well. A date display counter has been placed at 3 o’ clock in a vertical fashion, a feature that has been inspired by an altimeter found in an aircraft cockpit. The outer rim of the dial has been set with 23 location names, each representing a time zone. The band has been crafted with black alligator leather and the dial with a convex, anti- reflective sapphire glass.
