IWC Big Pilot Heritage Black Dial Titanium Mens Watch IW510301 Review | SwissWatchExpo

And we’ve got a big video for you today. This is 
the IWC Big Pilot. And of course, this is a watch  
that was originally designed for pilots back 
in World War I. You’ll notice that it has what  
we would consider to be an oversized case. And 
it’s really just because of staying in line with  
what the purpose of this watch was when it was 
originally designed. Again, it was for World  
War I pilots. And so they wanted the dial to be so 
large so that when you’re up there in those higher  
altitudes and you don’t have as much oxygen, it’s 
going to be darker, especially if you’re flying at  
night, you still need to know what time it is. 
So that just, that is why the watch is the size  
that it is. This particular piece is in a titanium 
case. It is pretty large, but my favorite piece or  
element of the watch is going to be the 
back. So I actually, it has a partial  
exhibition case back that has a power reserve 
indicator in it. So as you rotate the crown,  
you’ll notice that that little black bar swivels 
up, come check it out at Swiss, watch expo.com.
