Attention lovers of extraordinary watches! On the occasion of their 4th watchmaking partnership, the replica IWC Schaffhausen and Bucherer houses present a unique interpretation of the Grande Pilot’s Watch, to which is added a rare Grande Date complication. Please note, this very special edition is limited to only 100 copies.
A new collaboration for these two renowned brands. Except that here, the famous Portugieser is left aside to make way for the emblematic Large Pilot’s Watch. It is in fact the latter which serves as inspiration for this Bucherer BLUE creation.
The IWC Schaffhausen Grande Pilot’s Watch Grande Date Bucherer BLUE displays a singular appearance, a modern, masculine, elegant style, enhanced with a sporty twist. We obviously find the kind of instrument that will delight fans of pilot’s replica watches.
On the dial, blue is in the spotlight, a very bright blue in fact, adorning the markings as well as the hands. A shade which, not content with standing out wonderfully against the black background, echoes the sky, the infinite horizon. Besides the color, the second key element of this model is obviously its large date at 12 o’clock with its large numerals; a rare complication that should greatly appeal to connoisseurs and collectors alike. For the rest, we can say that readability is optimal, since each element of the dial benefits from a luminescent treatment, transforming blue into green in the dark. The whole thing remains quite sober and clear with just the right amount of information.
The IWC Grande Pilot’s Watch Grande Date Bucherer BLUE is equipped with a stainless steel case with a beautiful diameter of 46.2 mm, a domed sapphire crystal that is anti-reflective on both sides and resistant to depressurization, as well as with a chic black calfskin strap.
The back is also interesting, since it consists of a steel surface with Bucherer BLUE engraving and individual number, but also a small round glass window, allowing you to admire the cogs as well as the power reserve indicator. walk. A rather original choice because it is often located at the level of the dial.
And on the movement side, we have here a manufacture caliber 59235 with modern manual winding at four hertz, equipped with a power reserve of 8 days. Also note that the internal case is made of soft iron, which provides effective protection against magnetic fields (like any good pilot’s watch!).
This IWC Schaffhausen Grande Pilot’s Watch Grande Date Bucherer BLUE is exclusively available at Bucherer.
