Quick TakeThe Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar is one of our favorite watches from IWC, we even personally own one. This large 46.2 mm stainless steel case offers plenty of real estate room on its deep blue dial to showcase all of the perpetual calendar functions.

DescriptionThe IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Ref. IW503605 is a masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of haute horlogerie. Its grandeur is immediately apparent in its 46.2 mm stainless steel case, which houses a world of complex functionality beneath a striking blue dial. The dial, aglow with luminescence, provides a backdrop for the intricate displays of the perpetual calendar, a feature that stands as a pinnacle of watchmaking expertise. This calendar is mechanically programmed for an astounding 577 years, showcasing IWC's commitment to enduring craftsmanship and precision. Adding to its allure is the blue calfskin strap, which perfectly complements the dial and ensures the watch is as comfortable as it is stylish. The screw-in crown and a water resistance of 6 bars further attest to its robustness and reliability.

At the heart of this timepiece is the IWC-manufactured 52615 Calibre movement, a marvel of engineering. This automatic, self-winding movement, with its 168-hour (7 days) power reserve, speaks to the efficiency and sophistication of its design. Comprising 375 components and 54 jewels, each aspect of the movement is meticulously crafted, including the rotor adorned with an 18-carat gold medallion. The sapphire glass is convex and features an anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring clarity and resilience. Another distinctive feature is the moon phase display, which accurately tracks the lunar cycle for both the northern and southern hemispheres. This timepiece is not just a watch; it's a testament to IWC's legacy in pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
