IWC SchaffhausenPILOT’s Watch “150 Years” Anniversary Edition Collection 2018



PILOT’S WATCHES WITH LACQUERED DIALS

Schaffhausen, 15 January 2018 IWC Schaffhausen unveiled three limited-edition Pilot’s Watches at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva as part of the Jubilee collection to celebrate the company’s 150th anniversary.

IWC is adding three models to its Pilot’s Watch line in its anniversary year. All three models feature the design of the Jubilee collection. They can be recognised by their characteristic dials produced using a complex lacquering process in white or blue.

The Pellaton winding of the IWC-manufactured calibre 52850 comes with wear-proof ceramic components and generates a 7-day power reserve in two barrels. The movement is visible through the sapphire-glass back.

When creating the IWC-manufactured calibre 59235, the watch designers added a date display with large numerals to the hand-wound calibre 59210 with a power reserve of 8 days. The date is displayed using a double date ring, with one disc containing the tens and another disc containing the units.

The power reserve display had to be positioned on the reverse side so that the dial could preserve the uncluttered style that is characteristic of Pilot’s Watches. To this end, the soft-iron cage was fitted with a circular display window without compromising protection against magnetic fields.
