From IWC, presenting the Big Pilot (ref. IW5004-12), a contemporary classic shaped by careful watchmaking know-how. The exterior is thoughtfully executed: crafted in stainless steel and measuring 46.2 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 15.8 mm, defined by a round silhouette. The caseback is closed, and the crystal is sapphire, delivering water resistance to 6000 meters. At a glance, the dial balances texture and clarity: a black tone, framed by arabic numerals hour markers, and alpha hands. At its heart beats a proven engine: the 51011 caliber. Produced in limited numbers, appealing to focused collectors. Initial production year: 20072007. With considered ergonomics, it feels composed during extended wear. Brushed and polished elements play with light to emphasize crisp geometry. For buyers researching specifications and real-world impressions, this reference stands out for coherent design, dependable mechanics, and lasting relevance within modern horology.
