IWC Schaffhausen – PILOT’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.

date display featuring large numerals beneath the triangular index at “12

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.
