Okay, here goes another piece from my collection. Offered here is a stunning example of the IWC Big Pilot Ref. IW5004-01, a modern classic that pays homage to IWC’s rich aviation heritage. IW5004 brings the historic Big Pilot aesthetic into the modern era, reviving a design first seen in the iconic 1940s Beobachtungsuhr ("B-Uhr") made for military aviators. Specs: * Reference: IW5004-01 * Case Diameter: 46.2 mm * Case Thickness: 15.8 mm * Case Material: Stainless Steel * Crystal: Sapphire with anti-reflective coating * Movement: IWC in-house Calibre 51110 * Power Reserve: 7 days (168 hours) via Pellaton automatic winding system * Frequency: 21,600 vph (3 Hz) * Jewels: 42 * Water Resistance: 60 meters * Functions: Hours, minutes, central hacking seconds, power reserve indicator, date display A bit of history here: The Big Pilot's lineage dates back to 1940, when IWC created oversized observation watches for the German Luftwaffe. The design's purpose was pure functionality: legibility, reliability, and precision under extreme conditions. The modern IW5004 revived this tool-watch ethos, combining it with refined Swiss engineering and the introduction of the in-house Calibre 51110—at the time, one of the largest and most robust automatic movements ever produced by IWC. The oversized 46mm case, conical crown (designed for glove operation), and clean instrument-style dial remain faithful to the original, while the 7-day power reserve and sapphire crystal bring the watch firmly into the 21st century. Condition: This watch is in very good pre-owned condition, showing only minor wear consistent with gentle use. The case remains sharp, without major bangs and dings, the dial pristine. Comes as watch and set of papers. I’m trying to locate a box now, and if I find it I’ll include it in the sale. Also provided is a set of 7 straps, 3 of them are IWC OEM, one of them is Artem sailcoth. Overall, this goodies package is worth at least $400 alone. Price is $4,250 USD shipped CONUS. I’m in Canada, so Canadian buyers welcome. Have plenty of experience shipping to US. Payment by Wise or Paypal. No trades. Timestamp https://imgur.com/a/ukBhugQ
