Big Pilot’s IW501005 is contemporary in the appeal it brings to the wrist, defined by an oversized silhouette and an exceptional finish. The bronze case, offered in 46.2mm diameter, makes a modern statement, incorporating a smooth round bezel, a solid caseback with signature engravings, 60 metres of water resistance, and a beautifully-crafted crown. The crisp black dial showcases classic elegance characteristic to the house as it comes outfitted with Arabic numeral hour markers. The two and four o’clock positions are partially concealed due to the tone-on-tone sub-register at three featuring a power reserve indicator. The dial takes a minimalist approach via a discreet date aperture at six and the elongated, luminous handset. The leather strap similarly answers the request for understatement by pairing a complementing brown hue with contrasting stitching.

The in-house calibre 52110 powers this reference IW501005. It’s a self-winding movement with a seven-day power reserve. It is constructed with 46 jewels and beats at a frequency of 28,800 bph. This IWC Big Pilot’s watch balances functionality with sophisticated detailing, making it a superlative choice for multiple occasions.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
