About this watch

The IWC Big Pilot IW5028-02 is a majestic luxury watch that embodies the perfect blend of craftsmanship, functionality, and storytelling. This exceptional timepiece combines a striking blue dial with a luxurious red gold casing, featuring bold Arabic numerals and sleek hands for effortless readability. The watch boasts a complex yet intuitive dial showcasing hours, minutes, small seconds, date, day, month, year, and moon phase indicator. At its heart lies the IWC caliber 51564, an automatic movement renowned for precision and reliability. With 62 jewels and a power reserve of 168 hours, this movement is engineered to last. The watch's perpetual calendar eliminates the need for adjustments in leap years or months with fewer than 31 days. Its substantial presence on the wrist is complemented by a comfortable fit, thanks to its quality leather strap and robust case design. With a diameter of 46 mm and a height of 16 mm, this timepiece is both elegant and robust. The 60-meter water resistance ensures it can withstand everyday wear, but remember, it's not a dive watch. This limited edition piece, produced in only 270 units, celebrates IWC's legacy and craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any collection.
