The extraordinary Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL
The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL features one of the world’s most advanced anti-shock systems. Eight years in development, the IWC patented SPRIN-g system is a nearly impossible feat of engineering made real.
An Experiment with 30’000 G’s
The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL is born from our new division, IWC Experimental, a department designed to push the limits of engineering. The patented SPRIN-g PROTECT system is what makes the impossible a reality. Able to protect against extreme impact, it brings the promise of shock resistance to new levels. The innovative system inside the casing successfully survives accelerations in excess of 30,000g.
The Strength of Ceratanium®
The Strength of Ceratanium®
Combining ceramic and titanium, The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL features a case made of a ground-breaking, patented material, Ceratanium®. It remains lightweight and scratch resistant from the ceramic elements, but exhibits incredible durability from the infusing of titanium.
120 Hours of Power and Durability
Powered by the IWC manufactured 32115 calibre, the Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL is powerful inside and out. Components are made from a high-tech aluminum alloy to be light and strong. The bidirectional pawl winding system is able to hold a power reserve of 120 hours.
A Space Advanced As The Watches It Makes
The Manufakturzentrum. Twenty-five engineering firms, 70 construction companies, and 100 craftsmen worked for 2 years to make it a reality. Home to more than 400 craftsmen and employees, it is here that movements are made, assembled and researched.
It is the biggest ever investment in IWC’s history and a clear sign of our commitment to the town and people of Schaffhausen, the historic Swiss town that gives “IWC Schaffhausen” its name.
