With see-through sapphire-glass back.
SINCE 1936: THE MOTHER OF ALL IWC PILOT’S WATCHESThe fact that the modern interpretation bears such an uncanny resemblance to the “mother of all IWC Pilot’s Watches” is no coincidence: the classical cockpit-like look of the design, with its luminescent hands and numerals and black dial, has remained unchanged to this day. From a technical point of view, the Pilot’s Watch Hand-Wound, with its rotating bezel and arrowhead index, represents the state of the art: instead of the original 83 caliber, the new version from the IWC Vintage Collection features a pocket watch movement from the 98000-calibre family – hand-wound with a large screw balance and Breguet spring. The basic caliber stems from the 1930s and has been series-produced for longer than most other IWC movements. Through the see-through sapphire-glass back, you can see two technical features reminiscent of the first Jones calibers of 1868: the decorated nickel-silver three-quarter bridge and the Jones arrow. The elongated index served IWC’s founder as a means of adjusting the balance’s oscillating frequency and has remained a hallmark of Jones watches to this day.
PILOT'S WATCHES FROM IWC WRITE HISTORYIn the early days of aviation, most pilots used to navigate with the help of pocket watches, because wristwatches specially designed for flying were still very rare. The first “Special Pilot’s Watch”, built by IWC in 1936, came with a rugged glass, a rotating bezel with an arrowhead index for instantaneous legibility and an antimagnetic escapement, together with high contrast, luminescent hands and numerals. From 1940, IWC started producing the 52 T. S. C. Big Pilot’s Watch in accordance with military specifications. It featured an IWC-manufactured movement and a large seconds hand. With a case diameter of 55 millimeters and weighing 183 grams, the largest wristwatch ever built by IWC delivered the precision required of a chronometer and satisfied the special requirements that applied at that time to navigation or deck watches.
