The First IWC Big Pilot Watch With Chronograph Function
IWC has launched the first Big Pilot watch equipped with a chronograph function, the Big Pilot single-button chronograph "Little Prince" special edition. The chronograph function is controlled only by a conical onion crown, which has the beauty of simple engineering. This "Little Prince" watch has a stainless steel case with a distinctive dark blue sunburst dial, and is limited to 500 pieces https://www.aomwatches.is/.
The chronograph function is a core competence of IWC, and the chronograph is also the mainstay product in the brand's pilot series. Today, as a Swiss luxury timepiece manufacturer, IWC combines its iconic large pilot's watch with chronograph functions for the first time, giving birth to this timepiece with both beauty and craftsmanship.
Christian Knoop, creative director of IWC Schaffhausen, said: “IWC has always been exploring and looking for clever and elegant solutions in the field of engineering design. We have always wanted to combine large pilot watches with chronograph functions, but due to the large With the distinctive design of the size case and the conical onion crown, it is difficult to add two timing buttons on the side. Later, we accidentally thought of a way to integrate the single-button timing function."
The single-button timing function is controlled by only a single button integrated in the crown, so it is particularly practical and user-friendly. Press the button once to start timing; press the button a second time to stop timing. The cumulative timer at 12 o'clock can display a stop time of up to one hour. When the button is pressed the third time, the timing function is reset to zero.
Inheriting IWC's tradition of paying tribute to the world-renowned novel "The Little Prince" with a special edition watch, the large pilot single-button chronograph "Little Prince" special edition uses the iconic dark blue sunburst dial. The stainless steel case and rhodium-plated hands make the overall design more harmonious. In addition, the hands, hour markers and embossed numbers are coated with luminous material, making the dial clear and easy to read even at night.
