About this watch

The IWC Big Pilot 43 Stainless Steel / Blue is a masterpiece of watchmaking, combining classic aviator aesthetics with modern innovations. Its striking blue sunburst dial captures the light in a mesmerizing way, while the round case exudes durability and sophistication. The self-winding IWC caliber 82100 movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, providing smooth and accurate timekeeping experience. With a power reserve of 60 hours, you won't have to wind it daily. The watch features Arabic numerals, bold and legible, ensuring easy reading at a glance. The Alpha hands are elegantly designed, adding a touch of class, while the central seconds hand smoothly glides over the markers. Protected by a sapphire crystal, the dial is scratch-resistant and offers excellent clarity. With a water resistance rating of 100 meters, this watch can handle splashes and brief immersions without a hitch. The IWC Big Pilot 43 competes with brands like Breitling and Panerai, but its commitment to quality and unique heritage sets it apart. This watch is tailor-made for individuals who appreciate the finer things in life. It's a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a reliable timekeeping companion all rolled into one.
