A very large observer's watch with a pocket-watch movement, which returned as a modern model in 2002.

The watch was made in 1940 for the observers of the German air force and was produced in about a thousand examples. The Big Pilot of 2002 took up the form and became one of IWC's best-known models.

Materials: Steel, soft iron; hand-wound pocket-watch movement

Manufacture: Made in Schaffhausen; the case was 55 millimetres wide.

The large conical crown that can be turned with gloves on.

The triangle at twelve with two dots.
