IWC Blue Big Pilot Limited Edition 7 Days Power ReserveKnown for their most elegant IWC Big Pilot series of watches, the Swiss watch manufacturer is going to present yet another limited edition of the popular line. Called IWC Blue Big Pilot Limited Edition, the watch will sport gorgeous blue-on-black color scheme and will be available only in select stores in California and Nevada.Just like all currently available Big Pilots, the new limited edition model will be powered by IWC’s Calibre 51111 automatic movement, which is said to be one of the largest automatic calibers in the world. Being a slightly modified version of an even older Calibre 50000 movement, the mechanism’s huge mainspring is capable of storing enough energy to run for as long as 200 hours.However, to keep the watch as accurate as practically possible, IWC’s engineers decided to make it automatically stop after precisely 168 hours, or seven days.Like the rest of the gang, the Blue Big Pilot will come in a fairly large 46.2mm x 15.8mm stainless steel case. Besides providing the timepiece with an undeniable sense of presence, this brilliantly finished huge steel case also hides an extra soft iron safety cage that greatly increases the watch’s antimagnetic properties. Of course, its iconic chunky diamond-shaped winding crown is in its usual place ready to dig into the back of your hand.My main complaint about this particular model is its color scheme. While the rest of the family features incredibly high-legible, high-contrast black-and-white dial layout, the Blue Big Pilot comes with all its indices and numerals painted in bright-blue SuperLuminova. Although the watch will undoubtedly provide superb reading in dark conditions, I am not so sure about other times and places.Another problem with this watch is that IWC decided not to tinker with the color of the calendar wheel, leaving it a standard white-on-black combination. Thankfully, this minor annoyance is partly balanced with a white-colored arrow on the power reserve indicator located, as usual, at 3 o’clock.Limited at just 50 examples, the IWC Blue Big Pilot Limited Edition will be sold only in a couple of boutiques in Beverly Hills, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Each piece will reportedly feature a “One out of Fifty” wording engraved on its side. Duh!

The Portuguese family announces a cocktail of variations: new elegant dials complement the highly distinctive range from IWC, and a new yellow gold version makes the trilogy in gold complete. The Portuguese Chrono-Automatics from IWC are watches for active people who appreciate a superb and distinctively elegant timekeeping companion. These are people who may be prepared to go without many supplementary functions, but not without the protective case which confers the accolade of suitability for everyday use on a watch.With a hardness grade of 9, its convex sapphire glass can withstand any concrete wall, and its resistance to scratching defers only to a diamond. This guarantees a clear view of the classic dial with its Arabic numerals that are so typical of the Portuguese range, the elegant lance hands and the two vertically arranged inner dials for the small seconds at 6 o'clock and the chronograph 30-minutes counter at 12 o'clock. An indispensable feature for uncomplicated watch lovers is the water resistance to 30 m, which guarantees that there is nothing to fear even from water sport activities. While on the subject of sport: the Portuguese Chrono-Automatic opens up the exciting possibility of capturing a small piece of time itself by simply pressing a button on the chronograph, whether monitoring your personal training time or taking measurements in the heat of competition between athletes. The precision scale on the outer edge of the case permits measurements down to a quarter of a second.The Portuguese Chrono-Automatic is an independent and autonomous power plant. At any rate for as long as its wearer is in motion. Powered by the 79240 calibre mechanical automatic movement with 28 800 beats per hour, it provides the proverbial precision in the passage of time. It reflects this with absolute reliably, and the power reserve will even survive a 44-hour interruption in movements. Although the case diameter of 41 mm makes the Portuguese Chrono- Automatic a substantial item that scarcely goes unnoticed, it remains a restrained timepiece with its seductive alike. And yet: varietas delectat �C to quote from the philosopher Cicero: variety is the spice of life. True to form, IWC is about to launch an entirely new and engaging array of variants. The previous range of models, which more closely resembled a readily identifiable small family in terms of the choice of materials and dial colours, has been expanded into a strong and diverse team.
