The greatest with the Big: New IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watches (Live Pictures)sharetweetshareIWC Schaffhausen launched its first Big Pilot's Watch (52-Caliber T.S.C) in 1940; for 75 years, that historic timepiece has held the title of largest IWC watch ever made. This current year, however, IWC releases one who eclipses it. The IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 55 along with its a bit smaller little brother, the IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 48 made their high-flying debuts now at SIHH 2016 in Geneva.When discussing replica watches obtainable in two case sizes, one doesn't usually hear the 48-mm version explained business rep as "the smaller of these two," that's precisely what we heard today, let's begin with that one watches . The top Pilot's Heritage Watch 48 incorporates a case crafted from lightweight titanium, so despite its size it weighs in with a reasonable 120 grams. The watch (both replica watches, actually) features a dial with several new and subtle design features which make them more period-accurate: the triangle underneath the 12 o'clock position that is definitely now to use original, lower position under 12 o'clock, breitling navitimer the Arabic numeral "9" (omitted for a catalog since 2002) has returned, and also the blued propeller-shaped hands are coated with beige Super-LumiNova. One nod to modernity absent inside original model may be the small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, which replaces the central seconds hand. However, the new model features a stop-seconds function for straightforward synchronization, as did an original . The larger, cone-shaped crown is also an echo of these for the historical pilot's watch, which might often should be grasped by way of a military aviator's heavily gloved fingers.Inside case, protected by a soft iron inner cage, is IWC's in-house Caliber 59215, that is manual-wound and features a power reserve of 192 hours, or about eight days. A smaller aperture inside the solid caseback, instead of full-fledged exhibition back, offers just a glimpse of the movement as well as its power reserve display.The brown calfskin strap, divided into two and sewn together at the ends and held together by two rivets on the strap bar, recalls those early aviator timepieces that somewhat worn spanning a thick flying suit. The IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 48 is a limited edition of a single,000 pieces.Matching, however, not exceeding, the titanic dimensions of its historic predecessor, the IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 55 also boasts a lightweight titanium case as well as an in-house movement, IWC's manual-winding Caliber 98,300. Perhaps fittingly for the timepiece that is a lot more true a primary descendant from the classic vintage version, it can be even more exclusive, manufactured in a restricted edition of just 100 pieces worldwide.Aside from the size, exclusivity, and movement buy watch , the IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 55 possesses mostly every one of the features of its little brother, apart from two notable features: small seconds subdial does not also have a date window, and also the caseback doesn't need your little friend viewing window on the 48-mm version (nor the 192-hour power reserve it displays). But this can be a small investment for period accuracy, no?I had the chance to stand up close as well as with both from the Big Pilot Heritage Watches today at IWC's SIHH presentation. Here's what both models resemble close to each other…More pictures:sharetweetshare replica baby g watches
