IWC Big Pilot Automatic Stainless Steel Blue Dial Blue Leather Strap Mens Watch IW329303
IWC Big Pilot Automatic Stainless Steel Blue Dial Blue Leather Strap Mens Watch Model# IW329303 Producing its first pilot's watch in 1936, IWC has a long and excellent heritage in engineering robust tool watches, belonging to the original five companies and only Swiss manufacturer of B-Uhren watches. IWC's first pilot's watches was produced mainly for civil aviation purposes. The Big Pilot started off as a functional military watch with an oversized case, a simple yet distinctive dial and a big diamond-shaped crown, making it one of the most well-known models in the horological industry. This classic no-date IWC Big Pilot features a slightly smaller 43 mm stainless steel case that holds a striking sunray blue "Type A" dial under a scratch-resistant convex sapphire crystal. It has silver-tone and luminescent lozenge hands and white Arabic numerals and an orientation triangle with 2 dots on either side at 12 o'clock as hour markers. This minimalistic dial design allowed pilots improved legibility and easier 12 o'clock indication for both daytime and nighttime. The diamond-shaped screw down crown at 3 o'clock, absence of a date aperture, smaller case and dial design combine to form a near-perfect reinterpretation of the classic military navigators' watch, the B-Uhr reference no. 431. Fitted with a blue leather strap and secured by a stainless steel folding clasp which completes the elegant look. This watch also features an exhibition caseback showcasing the IWC-manufactured caliber 82100, a Swiss automatic movement boasting 60 hours of power reserve, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is water-resistant up to 100 meters/330 feet.
Like all of our watches, this IWC Big Pilot Automatic Stainless Steel Blue Dial Blue Leather Strap Mens Watch is brand new and comes in its original packaging.
