The Low-Down

By virtue of its history, tough engineering and design finesse, IWC is deservedly among the first names that come to mind when considering a pilot’s watch. Short of strapping on an actual cockpit instrument, the aesthetics of an IWC pilot’s replica watch comes closest to evoking the romance of aviation, refined for the wrist. IWC has served up an amazing array of pilot’s watches sporting a most comprehensive range of materials, complications, sizes, etc.

For purists, IWC has produced Big Pilot watches descended from the saucer-sized knee clocks of aviation lore; concessions have also been made to present-day practicalities and sensibilities in the smaller case sizes filtering into its collections, an example of which being the IWC Pilot’s Replica Watch Chronograph 41 which was introduced last year with 41mm case size to complement its 43mm siblings; and there has been a steady broadening of complications, from the requisite chronograph to perpetual calendars and world timers.

Besides a warm glow that isn’t gold, bronze will generate a patina over time, meaning that each watch will be unique, patterned after the life of the wearer.

Bronze is great in principle and it is noteworthy that IWC is making it pleasant in practice, by using a brew that is kind on the skin, and hardened to better hold its edge. It also goes very well with blue.

The Best IWC Pilot’s Replica Watch Chronograph 41 Edition

At 41mm-wide, the matte blasted Grade 5 titanium case of the IWC Pilot’s Best Replica Watch Chronograph 41 Edition offers a more compact, reserved profile on the wrist than many of its stablemates.

The overall design follows Cheap IWC Replica classic flieger chronograph template, with a narrow sloping bezel, athletic lugs, simple case sides, and a set of polished inverted pushers that add a touch of flash to the overall layout.

Every bit of dial hardware, from the flieger handset to the charismatic rounded Arabic numerals and the 3 o’clock day/date wheels, is printed in this vibrant color above a simple matte black base.

The IWC Replica Watch effect is immediately transformative on the wrist – it’s subtler than a fully colored dial would be, but the intensity of this color still makes the design sharply eye-catching and easily legible despite the loss in contrast over the traditional pure white lume fill.

Despite the visual drama of this new colorway, IWC confidently eschews any sort of overt Mercedes or Petronas branding on this dial in favor of maintaining its traditional layout.

While it might bear a superficial resemblance to the classic ETA/Valjoux 7750, the Luxury High quality replica watch 69385 is a thoroughly modern and robust column-wheel chronograph movement with a host of modern technical refinements. The 69385 offers a solid 46-hour power reserve at a smooth 28,800 bph beat rate.
