The Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar combines one of IWC Schaffhausen’s most iconic designs with the crown-controlled perpetual calendar from Kurt Klaus. These models are available in various materials, including coloured ceramic and Ceratanium®.
52000 calibre family
The IWC-manufactured 52000 calibre family comprises large automatic movements. The highly efficient Pellaton winding system uses movements of the rotor in both directions to build up a power reserve of 168 hours (7 days) in two barrels. Components that are subject to high stresses, such as the automatic wheel and the clicks, are made of virtually wear-free ceramic. The balance oscillates at a frequency of 4 hertz (28'800 vibrations per hour).
Putting eternity on the wrist.
During his time as head watchmaker at IWC Schaffhausen, Kurt Klaus translated the Gregorian calendar with all its many irregularities into a mechanical program for a wristwatch. His legendary complication was first featured in the Da Vinci Chronograph Perpetual Calendar in 1985 and is still regarded as a milestone in watchmaking.
