          Description

          The IWC Big Pilot's Watch can trace its history back to the oversized timepieces produced for military aviators in 1940. These enormous pieces were originally designed for maximum legibility in a cockpit setting, and were originally designed to be worn on the pilot's thigh!

          Today the Big Pilot's line is perhaps IWC's most identifiable collection, featuring a variety of case and dial configurations suited for any taste - provided your wrist can handle the oversized dimensions!

          This particular example, a 'Spitfire,' features a 43mm titanium case with a sapphire crystal, a faceted titanium bezel, luminous matte black dial with printed white 'Arabic' numerals and a matching 'sword' handset, and of course, a signed, oversized onion crown.

          Powering by IWC's Calibre 82100 automatic winding movement, this piece comes fitted to a signed distressed brown leather strap with a signed titanium deployant clasp.

          When you hear the term ‘pilot’s watch,’ there’s a healthy chance that what comes to mind is a timepiece from the International Watch Company.... and that is because of the ancestors to this watch.

          That is to say: The Big Pilot represents the very essence of IWC.
