IWC Big Pilot's Watch Marks Mercedes-Benz's 140th Anniversary

IWC has introduced the Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet 140 Years Mercedes-Benz, a 140-piece limited edition marking 140 years since the invention of the automobile.

Reference IW329603 pairs a 42mm stainless-steel case with a black dial, gold accents and a black rubber strap. The sapphire case back carries the first joint Daimler-Benz logo from 1926.

Inside is IWC's calibre 82665 and the recently introduced Perpetual Calendar ProSet, which lets you adjust the calendar forward or backwards from a single crown position.

What We Noticed

Every calendar adjustment is handled through one crown position, moving the four-subdial display forwards or backwards without separate correctors or a complicated setting sequence. Against the black dial, the date, month, day and Double Moon display frame a four-digit year indication between 7 and 8 o'clock.
