Pilot's Watch Worldtimer

In Context

At 45 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 13.5 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 60 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW3262-01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a stainless steel case. Beyond the time it carries a gmt.

Worldtimer movement based off the ETA 2892 with module by IWC. Also used by Baume & Mercier.
