The IWC Big Pilot's Watch IW501015 is a commanding timepiece that pays homage to aviation heritage while embracing modern watchmaking technology. This impressive watch features a substantial 46.2mm stainless steel case, with a thickness of 15.4mm, giving it a bold presence on the wrist. The iconic conical crown, a hallmark of IWC pilot's watches, ensures easy operation even when wearing gloves. The green dial exudes classic pilot watch aesthetics with its high-contrast white Arabic numerals and hands, all coated with luminescent material for excellent legibility in low-light conditions. A power reserve indicator at three o'clock and a date window at six, add practical functionality to the clean design.

At the heart of this timepiece beats the IWC-manufactured 52111 calibre, an automatic movement with an impressive seven-day power reserve. The movement features the Pellaton winding system and is protected against magnetic fields by a soft-iron inner case. Water-resistant to 60m, the Big Pilot's Watch comes fitted with a brown calfskin strap, securing comfortably with a stainless steel folding clasp. This watch is not just a timekeeping instrument but a statement piece for aviation enthusiasts and those who appreciate robust, functional design with a touch of history.

About the IWC Pilot’s Watches Collection

The IWC Pilot's Watches is a collection of dependable timepieces designed for the cockpit. However, with an ultra-chic aesthetic, it is no surprise that it ventured out of the aviation world and landed on the wrists of watch collectors around the globe. Its journey began in 1936 with the Special Pilot's Watch and progressed into the 1940s with iconic models like the Big Pilot's Watch Calibre 52, designed for the German military and the Navigator's Wristwatch Mark 11 for the British Royal Air Force. These watches became a top choice amongst the best militaries in the world primarily due to IWC being an early adopter of innovative materials, mechanisms, and functionality. And it's this spirit that has made the Pilot's Watches one of the most sought-after timepieces throughout watchmaking history and even more today.

Design And Features

With a form aimed at achieving functionality, IWC Pilot's Watches bring the best of both worlds. These watches gained early attention for their large round case and bold sans-serif Arabic numeral hour markers, choices that delivered high legibility. Throughout the journey of over 80 years, the design signatures of the Pilot's Watches have remained unchanged. An IWC Pilot's Watch is easily recognisable by its distinctive onion-shaped crown, unique 12 o'clock marker, and minimalist dial. Modern Pilot's Watches have enhanced their functional aspects by incorporating additional complications such as perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, tourbillons, and more. Also mechanically, Pilot's watches have always run on robust movements, which IWC are renowned for, offering high precision and excellent details like a whopping seven-day power reserve.

Iterations

The large and versatile family of Pilot's Watches include many well-known designs of the horological world. Watches like Big Pilot's Watch, TOP GUN, Spitfire, and the Mark Series are highly popular among serious watch enthusiasts, collectors, and even in pop culture. Each of these timepieces carries the original spirit of the collection and demonstrates the brand's passion for ingenuity. The current line-up of IWC Pilot's Watches is home to many handsome-looking timepieces featuring unique colour combinations and the use of innovative materials. It's a wholesome collection where functionality is unparalleled and style is aplenty.
