IWC Big Pilot's Green Perpetual Calendar Watch

The Big Pilot's high quality replica watches Perpetual Calendar is the pinnacle of IWC's historic line of pilot's watches, and it's not only equipped with one of the brand's most advanced movements. The Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar comes in steel; white, blue or black ceramic, and the brand's exclusive black Ceratanium; you can also buy it in gold with a tourbillon. Alongside the Big Pilot's Chronograph, perpetual calendar watches represent some of the largest watches from IWC (or any major luxury watch brand). This year, the brand has expanded its steel options for its perpetual calendar watches with a new green dial, a color that remains popular and one that IWC heavily promotes in its catalogue.

The great charm of the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar is unavoidable. With a diameter of 46.2 mm and a thickness of 15.4 mm, this watch will fit any wrist. But context is important here. That’s not a big deal, as the brand can’t make it any smaller (the 44mm Portugieser Perpetual Calendar uses the same movement, and IWC also offers 40mm and 42mm models with a 3-register perpetual calendar movement). This is the big pilot's. Its whole raison d'être is sheer size. The Big Pilot collection is rooted in the historic Flieger watch made specifically for pilots, and is themed around the large sizes pilots needed back in the day. When you put it on your wrist, you feel the style of the Big Pilot's luxury replica Watches - the huge crown, the almost entirely brushed finish, the flat sides of the case - and the breathing space the dial has, It all seems simple. Sophisticated and easy to manage. Its goals are big, and that goal seems to justify its size.

It may sound strange, but one of the highlights of the green Big Pilot Perpetual is the coordinating rubber strap. The bright red and blue rubber straps that come with the IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph and Mercedes-AMG Petronas are my favorites, and every IWC rubber strap seems to be very comfortable. This is a big difference for a watch like a perpetual calendar, and it makes the size more manageable than with curved lugs. Interestingly, the blue dial version of the watch comes with the same pilot-style riveted brown leather strap, but without the blue rubber strap. The hardware on the strap is excellent. The deployable buckle is secure and easy to open and close, and the brand's proprietary quick-release EasX-Change system is one of my favorite systems in the industry. Unlike many other brands, IWC doesn't force you into its watch strap ecosystem. The EasX-Change mechanism simply locks onto a regular spring rod (although it does need to be of the correct thickness) and you're ready to go. This means you can put any strap you want on this watch and wear the strap with any other buy replica watches.

The dial is based on a functional case and it can be said to be one of the sportiest perpetual calendar watches currently available. Emerald green is an eye-catching color, accentuated by the sunray finish that radiates from the center, across the subdials, and out to the edges of the dial. The large three-dimensional hour markers are coated with luminous coating, and the simple numbers are clear and easy to read. While the detachment of some of the dials may chagrin some enthusiasts, the dial is complete enough that you'll never really notice it on your wrist. (I'd also like to point out that this seems to be a minor aesthetic complaint; surely any true enthusiast doesn't even need any numbers to actually tell the time?) Due to the sheer size of the dial, IWC was able to make everything easy to read . Unlike smaller perpetual calendar displays, there's no need to squint to appreciate each display. cheap replica watches

The power reserve display cleverly shares a sub-register with the date hand, while the running seconds are attached to the day of the week register. To resolve any confusion that may occur, the inner display is indicated by luminous pilot-style hands, while the outer is tracked by a red hand; at 9 o'clock, a red hand also indicates the month. All of the subdials have radial grooves around the perimeter, but what stands out most about the dial for me is the dual moon phase display at 12 places, showing the phases of the moon in both hemispheres (that's what the facets are for), and the full moon phase display at 7 places. Year display: 30. A full year is very rare on a perpetual calendar, so it becomes special here. I also admit that I find the leap year indicator to be probably the most useless indicator typically included in a perpetual calendar. The whole point of having a perpetual calendar is that you don't have to worry about whether it's a leap year - why do I need to see that?

The Big Pilot's replica mens watches Perpetual Calendar is powered by IWC's in-house 52615 automatic movement. The movement has a 7-day power reserve (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is designed specifically for watches with a perpetual calendar. To be sure, this is one of the few instances where the long power reserve actually comes into its own, giving you a bit of a cushion between wears, although you'd be better off leaving it on the winder. That said, a quick inspection of the case reveals no additional recessed buttons or correctors, as the movement is programmed and synchronized at the factory. This means all you have to do is advance the date with the crown and everything else will follow. This is an ingenious solution to the tedious tasks associated with setting up other perpetual calendars.

The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar is probably the least cumbersome and most functional perpetual calendar watch on the market. This complication is usually found in more elegant precious metal replica watches swiss, but IWC's use of the large Big Pilot platform gives it a more rugged, sporty look than its contemporaries. For most people, size will be a barrier as for many this will simply not be wearable. Those who can handle it (or just don't care how the watch looks on their wrist) will be very pleased with this watch and its new vibrant green dial.
