- IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Watch Review | aBlogtoWatch
Ariel Adams of aBlogtoWatch reviews the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43, available in either a black-dialed version (Ref. IW329301) or the blue-dialed version as shown here (Ref. IW329304). This classic German-style flieger watch is the smallest iteration yet of IWC’s Big Pilot line, measuring in at a 43mm-wide case size as compared to its larger siblings that are as large as 48mm wide. The dial is extremely simple with a metallic blue sunburst finish, thick-printed Arabic numeral hour markers, and a polished handset. Inside the stainless steel case is the IWC-made calibre 82100 automatic movement which operates at 4Hz with 60 hours of power reserve, and features IWC's Pellaton efficient automatic rotor winding system as well as internal ceramic components. Over the dial sits a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal and of course the most distinctive "Big Pilot" design feature of the case is the classic oversized ”turnip-style" crown. The steel bracelet features contrast brushed and polished links and includes IWC's excellent EasX-CHANGE strap changing system. Pricing on the bracelet is $9,350 USD.

This is one of the best watches released this year.
Cool easy-release system with the spring bar! That really makes things so much easier.
Usual superb review. Thanks Ariel.
It looks cool and loving that bracelet. Although it still has a XL wingspan so will still wear very large.
Extremely thorough review.
Quality video as usual. Thamks Ariel
The big advantage of a big pilot dial is legibility. That’s why I’ve seen adds for the watch with a 911 car…when you’re busy driving through a twisty road, being able to see the time with a glance is a must (particularly if there are no guard rails, and it’s a +100 ft drop). This watch gives the owner that ability, while remaining manageable in dimensions. I love my “reduced” big pilot for that characteristic. Plus, the lume on all the Arabic numerals makes it even better.
All cars have the time on the dashboard, no need for a watch.
What kind of imbecile takes his eyes off a treacherous mountain pass road to look at the time on his watch?? If that’s the big sell-point then they could do better I think.
Its a big watch with only a 60 hour power reserve. Why could they not introduce a scaled down version of the Big Pilot with date, power reserve indicator and say a power reserve of at least 3 days. I would go for that.
Correct this is a bigger MARK XVIII. The movement is a mass produced entry level Richmond movement that us even used in the Panerai submersibles. Modified a little but overall nothing special. This watch also removed the soft iron cage which is true to the heritage. It also winds in the opposite direction which is even stranger.
Should be a strap monster with that spring bar. But wait, awkward 21mm strap width…
hot watch. any ideas on a cheaper alternative in this style?
I think business people would consider its MSRP as a huge opportunity cost. With that amount you could buy just about any Omega watch with their wonderful 8800 and 8900 movements; just about any Breitling chronograph with their great B01 movement, even a number of Rolex watches. But that "IWC Schaffhausen" on the dial is a BIG pull.
That's a nice watch
Nice video but shame you couldn't also show it off on the leather
It's the Extra-Medium Pilot.
Beuatifuel IWC pilot watch ...
the end links looks poorly made it doesn't fits nicely in the case
Would be perfect with a date at 6
Nope
Way too expensive.
It's not going anywhere.
There’s no way you’d get this over the new Longines Spirit collection. IWC is terrible value.
@@ratatosk001 if you like ridiculous crowns, cheap printed arabics with a bad font, and a bracelet which looks like it's made by StrapCode then go for it. Am happy for you 😂
@@ratatosk001 I'm perfectly happy rotfl thanks for your concern... mate
@@ratatosk001 haha this is like seeing conversation beetwen a manchild & a grown up
I've owned a longines spirit and also have an iwc mark 18, the Longines is great value for money but the iwc puts the bigger smile on my face.
@@thegorn you clearly have never had this watch on your wrist. That bracelet is likely one of the best on the market today. But go ahead and trash a watch just because you can't afford it. 🙄
Save money and get a Stowa, Laco, Wempe, Archimede or Steinhart.
Honestly this watch is way too much for what it is. It's too generic looking. You're right.
