A historic watch, a powerful machine, a pioneer of great dimensions. These have always been attributes of theIWC Schaffhausen Pilot's Watchfor 75 years. Now, in 2016, the Swiss house presents its successor: theLarge Heritage 55 Pilot's Watch, along with his older brotherLarge Heritage 48 Pilot's Watch. Both worthy heirs of a splendid saga but with more concessions in optics and habits.

El Large Heritage 55 Pilot's Watch y 48, limited to 1000 copies, become an alternative suitable for everyday use. And, how could it be otherwise, they are especially intended for collectors and lovers of authentic pilot watches. Its exclusive optics, with a seconds hand located at 6 o'clock, cause a sensation among watch connoisseurs. Both calibers 98300 and 59215, both manually wound, are unmistakably inspired by the historic observation watch.

With a sandblasted light titanium case, the new models have recovered the original place of the figure 9 and instead of the number twelve an indicator triangle with two side points is represented, which allows the position of the hands to be recognized and the time to be read even at a glance. With a clear focus on technology and development, the Swiss manufacturer is one of the leading international brands in the luxury watch sector.IWC Schaffhausenis committed to manufacturing Haute Horlogerie masterpieces of lasting value, which combine engineering and precision with an exclusive design.
