One of my favorite watches. I wish IWC would improve the movement, open the case back, and add more lume. If its for aviation wouldn't you need to see it better at night? Otherwise a fantastic piece.
Been debating on getting the IWC pilot or Fortis Flieger Professional Chronograph. I just don't think the IWC Pilot warrants the price with a ETA 7750 movement (which the Fortis also has and is 1mm thinner and $2500 less).
Fortis is fantastic..got rid of my 3717 for it. Fortis is very well regulated,robust, is a tank as a tool watch should be..I had 8 fortis at one time and each ran -+2/3 seconds a week. Fortis has longer continuous hx, independent ownership over 100 years, first chron alarm, first automatic, most time in space..clarity of crystal is unmatched by my Rolex. Tudor, Breitling, jlc, gp, tag even ap,. Etc.. If you not stuck on branding..it's an awesome brand
Breitling, IWC and Zenith make the best aviation watches ❤️ Long term goals= Brietling Navitimer 01, IWC MK. XVIII, Tag Monaco (?)Mid term= Shinola RunwellShort teem= casio or timex diver
Breitling navi 01 is iconic with great movement but bit flashy with bracelet. Wear mine on vintage leather. they just reissued aopa version with inhouse o3 in brushed finish..that's the one to get. I feel most Breitling is way too flashy. Monaco is racing but also iconic...get one with calibre 11. Iwc wasn't too reliable or robust esp at price..got rid of mine.
Customers have to pay for millions on advertising and celebrity endorsors..nothing special about these. Most iwc besides "branding" sold my 3717 for a fortis which has been by far more accurate, robust, under the radar
Good looking watch that would be even better looking without the day-date windows. At the very least, they should have just gone with the date. Does anyone actually ever use a day function? If you can't remember what day it is, then you've got big problems.
Please dont start your channel asking to subcribe that gives really a shit feeling if you just do your presentation with your heart we wil subcribe immedialty just fyi
Partha Sarker I have found most pilot watches are big. I was thinking of a particular Breitling few months back 'till I went to an AD and saw how big they are. Ironically, I bought and now wear the big Tudor bronze at 44mm, but it doesn't really play too big and of all my watches, without exception, it gets and has gotten the most compliments. Sinn makes pilot watches that are wearable for small wrists. My wrist is only six and a half, so I'm limited. Except for the Tudor.
ryvr madduck depends what you like and what you're used to - my next watches will be a omega seamaster 300 ceramic (41mm) and an omega speedmaster reduced (39mm). The Sinn 356 is 38.5mm
Paul Taylor Well that one also lacks attention to detail... Many reported that after a year the lume on the hands crumbled and fell. But regarding the strap on the omega.. You can see that Omega didn't care about the design since the stap doesn't curve around the case. Moreover the finish is mate and the case is "polished" such a disconnect. On Omega stick with the MOTM and the proplof.
You're not just paying for the movement - which btw is heavily modified and decorated by IWC. You're paying for the brand, the quality fit and finish of the dial and case, plus the heritage IWC has in pilot watches.
@@cy4624 I think ETA now adopt some of IWC's modifications in to the normal 7750. If you Google IWC 7750, there's a forum post which outlines the full changes IWC makes (or used to make).
