WELCOME
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more
of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere appreci ation of the
correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the
entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we
have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not only run with absolute precision
but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achievements of master
craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they
are concealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beau-
tiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send
you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described
with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
BIG PILOT’S WATCH PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, the moon phase in both
hemispheres, the day of the week, the date, the month and the year in four digits, as well as the
remaining power reserve. The mechanical movement with automatic winding has a power reserve
of approximately 7 days (168 hours) when fully wound. Your Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar is
protected by a convex sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale. Your watch is shockproof
and water-resistant to 6 bar. The engraved rotor with its 18-carat gold medallion winds the watch
in both directions of rotation via the Pellaton winding mechanism. In addition to the uniqueness of
its functions, it is the display’s legibility and the ease with which it can be used that distinguishes
this watch from all other complicated timepieces. To ensure that this extra ordinary watch continues
to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.
