Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet 140 Years Mercedes-Benz
Since Carl Benz filed the patent for the first automobile 140 years ago and Gottlieb Daimler built his motorized carriage shortly afterwards, Mercedes-Benz has dedicated itself to constantly innovating and to creating some of the world’s most desirable cars for its customers. This ambition has driven every innovation – from the world’s first automobile in 1886 to today’s intelligent and safe electric vehicles. Limited to 140 pieces, the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet 140 Years Mercedes-Benz marks the 140th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz.
The watch features the newly engineered Perpetual Calendar ProSet. The new module is based entirely on gears and protected by four patents. As a result, the calendar can be adjusted both forward and backward through a single crown position. This new approach makes calendar adjustments as easy and intuitive as setting the time itself – requiring no additional pushers, no changes in crown position and no complicated setting menus. The Perpetual Calendar ProSet displays the date at 3 o’clock, the month at 6 o’clock and the day of the week at 9 o’clock. The perpetual moon phase, shown in the signature Double Moon® format at 12 o’clock, is accurate to within one day in 1,040 years. The four-digit year display – another hallmark of IWC’s perpetual calendars – is located between 7 and 8 o’clock on the dial.
The watch’s brushed and polished stainless steel case frames a black dial with golden appliqués and hands. The minute track is printed in white for enhanced legibility. On the sapphire glass case back, a historic logo commemorates this milestone occasion. Introduced in 1926 following the merger of Daimler Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) with Benz & Cie., it was the first logo for Mercedes-Benz, combining the laurel wreath, adopted from the Benz emblem, with DMG’s emblematic three-pointed star.
The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82665 calibre, featuring a nickel-phosphorus escapement and a silicon hairspring. The bidirectional Pellaton automatic winding system is reinforced with ceramic components and builds up a power reserve of 60 hours in the mainspring. Thanks to the integrated EasX-CHANGE® system, the black rubber strap can be exchanged for another quickly without any tools.
