From the first souls breaking the sound barrier to the fearless mavericks of the famed Miramar training school, pilots define a bold and confident approach to adventure and life. Embodying this same spirit is the IWC Big Pilot watch. In production since 1940, this watch comes in a variety of designs and styles. Recent iterations of the Big Pilot feature the patented IWC-manufactured 51111-caliber movement, a spring-mounted rotor, and a Pellaton pawl-winding system. This complex system builds up a power reserve of just over a week after which the watch movement stops to retain tension and torque in the mainspring and ensure effective long-term performance. The IWC Big Pilot Top Gun watch from the Big Pilot collection features a green textile strap and a ceramic case for a classic military look. Other IWC Big Pilot strap designs include elegant alligator or leather straps, providing watch fans with a variety of looks.
