IWC Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son

Tweet
Written by Bojan Pavlovic on January 4, 2012 in IWC Pilot's Watches, IWC Watches - 6 Comments

The festive season is on its way and it is the perfect time to show your loved ones how much you care about them. IWC offered two of its popular pilot’s watches for the best partners in the world: father and son. Since father may have more than one son, the Swiss watchmaker provides the purchase of more than one Pilot’s watch for Son with every purchase of Pilot’s watch for Father.

IWC Pilot’s Watches for Father and SonThe Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son set includes Big Pilot’s watch in platinum for father and Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI in stainless steel for son or sons. Each of these two watches have a space on the case back reserved for engraving the name of the owner. Thus, you will get a personalized gift for a life time.

The Set Features Two Outstanding Timepieces

The 46 mm father’s watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured Caliber 51111 mechanical movement with its seven days of power reserve. Actually, the spring-mounted rotor and Pellaton pawl winding build up a power reserve of 8.5 days, but only 168 hours energy reserve is used before the movement automatically stopped to prevent the danger of diminishing torque in the mainspring.  The 42 jewels movement is one of the largest automatic movements in the world.

The son’s watch is identical to the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVI. Caliber 30110 mechanical movement is housed in 39 mm stainless steel case. The self-winding movement is built on 21 jewels and provides sufficient 42 hours of power reserve when fully charged.

The Memorable Choice Comes with the Good Taste

The external similarities of these two watches are obvious. They both feature the same pale rhodium-plated dial, a striking screw-in onion-shaped crown and a chocolate brown alligator leather strap. The son’s watch is available with a pin buckle or, by special order, with a folding clasp.

IWC Pilot’s Watches for Father and SonEach of them is protected by convex scratch-resistant sapphire glasses with antireflective coatings on both sides and secured against displacement by drop in air pressure. Like all Big Pilot’s watches, they also boast a soft-iron cage that protects the movement against extreme magnetic fields. The water-resistance is assured down to 60 meters (200 feet) beneath water surface.

The Extremely Readable Dial and an Engravable Case Back

Their dials feature luminescent arrowhead indexes situated at the 12 o’clock positions, as well as the hour markers at the quarter hour filled with luminous materials for best legibility even in deep darkness conditions. The propeller-like hour and minute hands are also filled with luminous materials.

IWC Pilot’s Watches for Father and SonThe dial of the father’s watch comprises a power reserve indicator at the 3 o’clock position and a date aperture at the 6 o’clock position, whereas the dial of the son’s timepiece has a black-on-white date window situated traditionally at the 3 o’clock position.

As I already mentioned, the inner circle on the case back is reserved for an engraving of the lucky recipient’s name. This is not only a fashionable dedication, but also a safeguard against mix-ups because this set also comes in larger versions for fathers with more than one son.

IWC Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son

The price for the standard set of two watches, the father’s with the referent number IW500413 and the son’s with the referent number IW325512, is approximately $44,500.

    Watch has very interesting design. I like the big circle inside of one variation. Also, on the back side there is an extra thing.
    Etched with the names of the pilot and copilot Peter and Alexander. That`s very cool.

  2. Jimmy Scott January 18, 2012

    That thing is great! I cannot believe that the back side of the watch looks perfect!
    Does anyone have any experience with this watch?

  3. Rodney Simpson January 18, 2012

    This is one of the watches with perfect style and great movement. It is one of the best ever from IWC.

  4. George Bell April 17, 2012

    This is one of the best couple of watches I have ever seen. IWC Father and Son watches look extraordinary. The IWC manufacturers have done a great job this time. The only thing that isn`t that okay is the price. These watches are too expensive. $44500 is a really big amount of money, especially for a watch.

  5. Travis Cook April 17, 2012

    If you need a synonym for an elegant old – fashioned watch, this is the right choice for you. IWC is a well known brand and their watches boast elegance and quality. That is the main reason why this watches cost so much. They are made for a certain group of people – gallant and reach.

  6. Lucas Cage April 17, 2012

    Travis, I liked your comment. You are right, but I must say just one more thing, the price of the watch is abnormal. Only a madman can give such an amount of money for a watch. I like watches, right now I have a Movado, but I`m not so happy with it. I intend to buy a new watch, it would be lovely if I had money for this watch, but it will probably be some other because the price of this watch and my budget don’t go together.
