IWC Pilot’s Watch Worldtimer

In the year of Pilot’s Watches, this collection will be enriched with five cockpit-styled models.  I have already introduced  Top Gun Miramar Watch, and now it is time for another IWC’s novelty. The next in line is a classic looking and simply named Pilot’s Worldtimer watch. This traveler’s timepiece has ability to display 24 time-zones simultaneously and it is an ideal fellow traveler for frequent flyers, international business people, as well as for pilots.

IWC Pilot's Watch Worldtimer

Perfect Timepiece for People Who Constantly Change Continents and Time Zones

The new Pilot’s watch, unveiled this week at SIHH, has the 24-hour ring that nicely rounds the dial. The black and white ring can be adjusted quickly and easily, forwards or backwards in one-hour steps, by using the crown. Thus, all 24 time zones, including Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), can be seen at a glance. Once set correctly, the ring enables the wearer to read off the time in all 24 time zones. In addition to the 24-hour ring, the city ring bears the names of 23 places around the globe and each of them represents one particular time zone. The letterings “UTC” and “Date Line” colored in signal red also make it easier to keep abreast.

IWC Pilot's Watch WorldtimerThe uncultured dial continues to show current local time. It can be advanced or turned back in one-hour steps to show the new local time, even when crossing the International Date Line. The sleek, matte-black dial with white numerals and indices, and luminescent hands, provides perfect legibility under all kinds of lighting conditions.

The classical pilot’s style of Worldtimer wristwatch is reflected in the aircraft-inspired design elements, such as propeller-like hour and minute hands, the clearly structured chapter ring and a luminescent arrowhead index situated at the 12 o’clock position.

The triple date, altimeter-like display with its vertically arranged figures is traditionally situated at the 3 o’clock position.

Crafted to Withstand a Trip Around the World

This newcomer with the referent number IW326201 is housed in a round, stainless steel case that measures 45 mm in diameter and it is 13.5 mm thick.

This model, like all IWC Pilot’s watches, is coated on both sides by convex sapphire crystals with antireflective coatings. IWC Schaffhausen also secured it against the eventual air pressure drops that can occur during a flight. Worldtimer also features the IWC-in-house developed system, a soft-iron inner case, which confers special protection against magnetic fields so prevalent in the modern world. The case is well constructed to resist water pressure down to 60 meters (200 feet) below water surface.

IWC Pilot's Watch WorldtimerIWC Pilot’s Watch Worldtimer is powered by the Caliber 30750 mechanical movement with 42 hours of power reserve when fully charge. The self-winding movement is built on 31 jewels and oscillates at the rapid frequency of 28,800 beats per hour.

For the wristlet, the Swiss watchmaker chose an elegant black alligator leather strap which is secured to the wearer’s wrist with a folding clasp.

    I like the dial on this watch. It is very nice. Also, I am a fan of watches with leather straps. I am interested to buy this watch, but I do not know its price. Does anybody know something about the price?

  2. Toby Block February 13, 2012

    Clay, I don`t know the right price of the watch, but I can tell you that these watches aren`t cheap. I suppose that this watch has a high price of several thousand dollars.

  3. Clay Overton February 13, 2012

    Yeah, I know that IWC watches are expensive. I have $2800 to buy a watch, I can only hope that this watch costs $2800 or less.

  4. Cecil B. Wolf March 22, 2012

    I can`t remember that I saw this kind of watch in my whole life. So far, this is definitely the best watch in my opinion. It looks fantastic, it has incredible features and a very quality movement. It is a real jewel among the watches.

  5. Bob Ayers March 22, 2012

    Please, look at this dial! It`s a rare example of a pure perfection and high quality. This is really a historic moment for the world of watches. IWC manufactures have done something incredible and something what any man in the world must respect – they made this brilliant watch, IWC Pilots Watch Worldtimer!

  6. Kevin Lee March 22, 2012

    I don`t know why everyone has such great words about this watch. It isn`t anything special and it certainly isn’t what Bob said – a rare example of pure perfection. It`s a regular watch, with okay functions and an interesting dial, nothing more.

  7. Trent Lapp May 22, 2012

    This is a watch with a lot of potential. It has great features, very usual and useful additions, but it also has a very big problem, and that`s its design. Those bracelets must be replaced with some good and normal bracelets. After that, this watch would be truly a true example of perfection.

  8. Micah Spitzer May 22, 2012

    Come on, Trent, you are over reacting. The watch is just fine. If you don`t like it , don`t buy it. I`ll probably buy it in a couple of weeks. I saw this watch on the market and I really want to have it. IWC watches are really famous in the world, it would be a true honor if I wore it on my hand.

  9. Emil Raw May 22, 2012

    IWC Pilots Worldtimer has a couple of very interesting additions like time zone, world cities time and 42 hours power reserve. It`s really a quality watch with, how Trent said, a lot of potential. The only problem with this watch is its price. It`s too expensive.
