IWC Big Pilot's Watch, round steel case (46mm diameter, 16mm thickness) with screw-down crown, soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields up to 80,000 A/m, black alligator leather strap with steel deployant buckle, black dial with luminous hands and Arabic numerals, Glucydur beryllium alloy balance with high-precision adjustment cam on balance arms, central hacking seconds hand, power reserve display at 3 o'clock, date display at 6 o'clock, 42 jewel Caliber 51111 self-winding mechanical movement with 7 day power reserve, convex scratch-resistant sapphire crystal secured against displacement by drop in air pressure, water resistant to 60 meters.The Big Pilot's Watch of 1940 has had a decisive influence on the appearance of the classic Pilot?s Watches. Even now, over 70 years later, the latest model continues to write the success story of this great watch legend. Its IWC-manufactured 51111-calibre movement ? the largest automatic movement made by IWC ? combines some of the greatest achievements of the art of watchmaking. Within no time at all, the spring-mounted rotor and Pellaton pawl-winding system build up a power reserve of over 7 days, before the movement is mechanically stopped by an ingenious train in the power reserve after exactly 168 hours. Stopping the movement before all the tension in the spring has been exhausted eliminates the danger of diminishing torque in the mainspring. This ensures the same level of accuracy the whole time the watch is running. The power reserve display at "3 o?clock" provides a reliable indication of the time remaining until the movement comes to a stop. The Big Pilot?s Watch has a date display at "6 o?clock" and the central seconds essential in any watch used for flying. The 46-millimetre case encloses a soft-iron cage that protects the movement against extreme magnetic fields. The latest version in stainless steel is rounded off with an alligator leather strap. The design of the folding clasp is slightly more striking and more appropriate to the considerable diameter of the case.
