The legendary complication returns to the standard collection with the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar. The timepiece has a stainless steel case, a blue dial and rhodium-plated hands. The indicators for the date and power reserve are at 3 o’clock, the month is displayed at 6 o’clock. The day of the week and small seconds indicators share the subdial at 9 o’clock. The double moon phase display at 12 o’clock correctly shows the moon phase for the northern and southern hemispheres and only needs to be corrected by one day after 577.5 years.
The calendar module is driven by a single nightly switching pulse from IWC’s manufacture calibre 52615. The automatic movement consists of 386 individual parts and was developed with a focus on maximum precision and quality. The automatic Pellaton winding mechanism stores a power reserve of seven days in two barrels. Heavily stressed components of the winding mechanism are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic. The decorated movement is visible through a glass back.
Pilot's Watches all models
With a clear focus on technology and development, the Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been producing timepieces of lasting value since 1868.
In the new production facility, the Schaffhauser Uhrenmanufaktur manufactures factory parts and production facilities on an area of 13,500 square meters
and enclosures under one roof - a milestone in the company's over 150 year history. For example, the entire added value from the raw material through the individual parts of the work to the finished manufacture movement is now arranged on a floor in a logical order.
The Portuguese
This very successful timepiece, produced since the mid-30s of the last century, fell out of the usual Art Deco style. While at that time mainly smaller and slimmer wristwatches were available on the market, two Portuguese businessmen turned to the watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen to commission a traditional, large wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch, for which the Schaffhausen-based company is world-famous. The combination of the Savonette pocket watch calibre 74 with a case suitable for wristwatches set the stylistic and technical standard for all subsequent watches in the Portuguese series.
The easy-to-read and clearly structured dial skilfully continues the design language of IWC's Portuguese customers known since the 1930s and complements it with another timeless piece of jewellery.
