This IWC Big Pilot’s can be one of those rotational pieces of your collection that you can wear whenever, without having to worry much about winding it, thanks to the startling seven-day power reserve.
Why we love it
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 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 28,800bph. This IWC Big Pilot’s watch balances functionality with sophisticated detailing, making it a superlative choice for multiple occasions.
What you should know
With the exception of a few light nicks on the caseback, this IWC watch for men promises very good pre-owned condition.
Provenance
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.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
