If you are also a watch lover, you must not miss the new watch of IWC pilot series! This watch is not only a tool watch, but also perfectly combines the tough guy temperament of a pilot with fashion elements, which is simply eye-catching. Want to know how it is designed to be both practical and beautiful? Then read on!
IWC Pilot’s Watch
At this year’s Geneva Watch Fair, IWC launched a new pilot series watch. This watch is inspired by the uniforms of naval pilots and the natural landscape of the American West. In the design, we can clearly feel the fusion of these two elements. The dial diameter of 41 mm and the thickness of 11.4 mm also make this watch more in line with modern people’s wearing habits.
Pilot watches have always been known for their durability and practicality, and are truly tool watches. The new pilot series watches launched this year not only have the performance that a tool watch should have, but also take into account fashion and personality design, which perfectly meets the needs of modern consumers.
This watch is equipped with IWC’s self-made 32112 self-winding movement, which has a power reserve of 120 hours and a waterproof capability of 100 meters. This configuration is already very good today.
The most attractive part of the watch is its appearance design. We can see that this watch retains the consistent design style of the pilot watch, with large Arabic numerals, a long hand and eye-catching minute scales. These all convey time information very well, while also retaining the tool attributes of the pilot watch.
Because the design is more aesthetically inclined, the IWC Pilot’s Watch series abandoned the power display on the traditional pilot’s watch and placed the date window at three o’clock, which does not affect the overall appearance but also takes into account practicality. Moreover, the crown of this watch has also been optimized, making it feel more delicate.
New materials, new heights
Speaking of which, I have to mention IWC’s innovation in the use of materials. In the past, we saw that high-end watches mostly used fine steel or precious metals as case materials, but IWC boldly tried new trendy materials such as ceramics and titanium.
The ceramic material is lightweight, scratch-resistant, and has a very good visual effect, which is most vividly reflected in the black all-ceramic watch. IWC has nearly forty years of experience in the use of ceramic materials. As early as 1986, IWC had already begun trying to use ceramics to make watches. Now it seems that this attempt has been successful.
Titanium is not only light, but also has strong antioxidant capacity. Even if it is worn for a long time, it will not cause allergies. This is very important to many consumers, because not everyone is allergic to metals, and those who are allergic to metals almost do not dare to wear watches.
The new pilot series watch launched this time uses a light brown rubber strap, which echoes the tones of the desert area and fits the theme of this watch very well. Moreover, the rubber strap is not only light and comfortable, but also has good durability, making it very suitable for summer wear and outdoor activities.
Although we often say “a good horse deserves a good saddle”, with the upgrading of consumption, we have to admit that modern consumers are no longer satisfied with pure performance configuration. They hope that their choices will not only be easy to use, but also look good and conform to their own aesthetics. Apparently, IWC did this.
Conclusion
IWC’s new pilot series watch undoubtedly perfectly combines practicality and fashion, which is really hard to put down. What do you think of this watch? Did its design and material use also impress you? Welcome to share your views in the comment area, and don’t forget to like and support!
