IWC unveiled its first Special IWC Pilot’s watch replica in 1936. This timepiece had an anti-magnetic escapement along with a rotating bezel by having an arrowhead index for fast legibility. The initial Special Pilot’s watch elevated the bar for that timepieces within the Pilot’s collection today.
The History
The Objective 11, first produced in 1948, is easily the most well-known pilot watch in IWC’s collection. This timepiece was created for that Royal Air Pressure and it was utilized by them for more than three decades. The Objective 11 includes a soft inner case made from iron that houses the movement and protects it in the interference of magnetic fields.
Since 2005 IWC is a committed supporter from the Fondation Antoine de Saint Exupéry pour la Jeunesse. During the last twelve years, the very first IWC Big Pilot Saint Exupéry replica premiered in the year 2006, IWC has offered various watches bearing either the specific famous author and pilot, or of his best-known work, Le Petit Prince by 2013.
The Case
The IWC Big Pilot Ref. 501002 replica is thus the Petit Prince form of the standard Big Pilot. Both watches share a diameter of 46.2 mm and thickness of 15.6 mm. Using its open and comparatively simple dial and distinctive screw-lower onion crown, the Big Pilot is certainly an imposing watch. It can make its presence felt, it requires up space and draws the attention.
Both versions are outfitted using the automatic 52110 calibre, which gives a remarkable 7-day power reserve. Like the majority of pilot watches, the movement remains safe and secure by an interior case made from soft iron, which improves potential to deal with magnetic fields.
The Dial
The replica IWC Big Pilot Petit Prince version is different from the conventional model for the reason that it features a blue dial. This is an interesting choice, since it softens the general appearance of the timepiece. The black dial results in as martial, as the blue is much more peaceful. The truth that nowhere dial includes a shinier finish compared to black does mean it offers different shades with respect to the light. Overall, this straightforward dial change gives our Pilot a perceptibly dressier look.
To celebrate its 150th anniversary, IWC has launched numerous limited editions this season, including several replica IWC Big Pilots. Should you fancy veering from the beaten track, and also you appreciate unusual dials, I highly recommend the 2 Big Date models, using their white-colored or blue lacquered dials. Both are exceptional watches, and very rare. Only 100 is going to be obtainable in each colourway.
The Strap
The IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince replica occurs a brown strap with rivets, the black version includes a matching black strap, produced through the esteemed Italian shoemaker Santoni. An element peculiar to IWC would be that the folding buckle closes the alternative method to what we are accustomed to inside a watch. I’ve always wondered why, but at this moment I still haven’t heard a convincing explanation.
To summarize, the replica IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince is definitely an interesting choice if you wish to put on just a little bit of aviation history in your wrist, and if you possess the soul of a giant-hearted author/explorer! Probably the most annoying factor relating to this Big Pilot is its imposing crown. Although it’s perfectly consistent with all of those other piece, it will make it awkward to put on, since it has a tendency to stick in to the wrist.
The Movement
Another aspect that IWC could consider tweaking is the existence of the ability reserve around the dial. This can be a convenient function on the by hand wound watch, however the IWC Big Pilot replica comes with an automatic movement, that makes it less helpful.
By continuing to keep the seven days but eliminating the indicator, IWC could further simplify and cleanup the dial, which may transform the timepiece. The replica IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince isn’t a watch you would put on every single day. However it could make up the cornerstone associated with a collection, due to its measurements and it is character.
