The Case

It is highly hard and highly resistant to corrosion, making it popular in the watchmaking industry. Over the past two years, IWC has released several replica 41mm pilot's watches, but this watch takes on the original large size of 44.5mm for a stiff and airy look.

The wide time scale hand and the classic triangular logo at 12 o'clock are memorable. there is a small second dial at 6 o'clock, a 12-hour chronograph dial at 9 o'clock and a 30-minute chronograph dial at 12 o'clock. The layout is clear and logical. The main color of the panel is black with red accents, which adds a bit of vitality to the watch, while being strictly understated.

The small seconds dial has a very distinctive style. The brand designers have used the insignia of the flying squadron as the dial of the second small dial. What we see in the picture is the classic high hat insignia of the "Tophatters" squadron, which is easily recognizable. The weekly calendar display window with a black background and red characters is set at 3 o'clock to enhance the practical function of the watch.

In addition, the watch is also equipped with a soft iron inner case, which effectively protects the movement from magnetic fields and improves the accuracy of travel time.
