IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN

The Big Pilot’s Watch Constant-force Tourbillon Edition “IWC Racing” boasts a design inspired by the technical world of motor sport. Limited to just 15 pieces, the commanding 46.2mm watch combines IWC’S complex constant-force tourbillon with a matte black Ceratanium case and the fully blacked-out 94800 calibre, which lend the model its unique and futuristic appearance. While the constant-force tourbillon at 9 o’clock is attention-grabbing, the dial also features a standout double moonphase display for the northern and southern hemispheres. White numerals and yellow accents recall a race car’s dashboard, while the power reserve display at 4 o’clock is reminiscent of a tachometer. The louvred, ring-shaped outer dial ring takes inspiration from the cold air intake system of a high-performance engine. Even the black rubber straps incorporate a detail from the racing world with an inlay of Alcantara – a durable, synthetic microfibre with superb grip often used for the seats and steering wheel covers of performance cars.
