The Best New IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63

Many people dream of owning a Porsche or Ferrari, and I did too as a kid. But for many years now, it has been the G-Class that I consider my absolute dream car. It doesn’t have to be a Mercedes-AMG G 63 (AMG); I will also settle for a G 500.

IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63

However, after opening the email, I went silent for a while. I can’t remember for how long, but I needed time to recover from this confrontation. I love the G-Class car and the Big Pilot’s Replica Watch from IWC, so where exactly did it go wrong in my head?

Two counters in a B-Uhr

I quickly identified that the dial layout of the new IWC Big Pilot’s Replica Watch AMG G 63 doesn’t work for me. The classic Big Pilot’s watch (today’s ref. IW501001) looks right, though you could debate the date window. The large central seconds hand is essential to any Beobachtungsuhr, but IWC decided to put that into a small sub-dial at 9 o’clock.

Aside from the small seconds hand at 9 o’clock, the white rings around the sub-dials are out of place. According to the press release, however, these white rings should remind you of the headlights of a G-Class car. Okay.But that’s not my only beef with the design. It also concerns the gold case and black dial.

Armor Gold

Black and gold is a color combination that I don’t mind, and AAA IWC Replica Watches says it’s inspired by the recently introduced Mercedes-AMG G 63 “Grand Edition”. I think IWC should have used more black on this watch and less gold to make it a proper G 63 “Grand Edition” commemorative piece.

IWC’s gold for the case and crown is called Armor Gold. This 5N alloy ensures better protection against wear and tear since it is harder than regular 18K gold. The alloy’s ingredients remain a secret, but IWC indicates that this gold has an improved microstructure to achieve greater hardness.

The black version with a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) case

Perhaps a black case would be better, like the one for ref. IW506201. Essentially, this is the same watch as the gold Big Pilot’s Replica Watches Swiss Movement AMG G 63 but in a black Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) case with slightly larger and thicker dimensions. If IWC had put in a full-gold dial with black sub-dials in a black case, that would have been more in the spirit of the car.

Air intake

Anyway, the black dials of the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 references have a special motif. At first, I thought it was based on the motif of the typical AMG leather interior, but IWC indicates that it is inspired by the air intake you can find in the bumper of the G 63. The sub-dials have a snailed finish, and, unlike the standard version of the Big Pilot’s Watch, Luxury IWC Replica decided to apply the numerals and hour markers instead of printing them. The watch is more luxurious in its details, just like AMG models are.

Caliber 52010

Inside the IWC Big Pilot’s Copy Watch AMG G 63 is the self-winding caliber 52010. As the sub-dial at 3 o’clock indicates, it offers a seven-day power reserve. The movement is beautifully decorated and visible through the sapphire crystal in the case back.

IWC Portugieser Replica models with white and blue dials

IWC Replica Watches introduces new versions of the Portugieser Automatic and the Portugieser Chronograph, both featuring stainless steel cases, contrasting white and blue dials with the characteristic railway-track style chapter ring, blue arabic numerals, and blued feuille hands.

The Portugieser Automatic (Ref. IW500715) is powered by the IWC-manufactured 52010 calibre with a power reserve of 7 days and fitted with a blue alligator leather strap. The high quality replica watch Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. IW371620) features the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre chronograph movement and a blue rubber strap.

The two watches sport a very similar look with the white and blue “Panda” styling, though the blue sub-dials are oriented differently – in a left right layout for the Automatic, and a 12/6 layout for the chronograph.

The automatic’s design language takes its grammatical cues from the original Portugieser best replica watches– a very beautiful case shape with almost no bezel, a convex sapphire glass and traditional Arabic numerals with railway track. Unlike the original and early Portugiesers, the model is automatic and feature a date.

The movement is the caliber 52010 which runs for a full 7 days autonomy, and is part of the 52000 family, launched in 2015. This is IWC’s new generation of 7-day Automatic movements. Compared to the predecessors, the Pellaton winding has been updated and the power is now stored two barrels.

The chronograph is a very classical IWC Replica Swiss Made styled Portugieser chronograph, with a beautiful, and relatively slim steel case in 41mm and is proposed in a two counter style, without hour totaliser window of a date.

The Most Successful IWC Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. IW371620) Replica features a 41-millimetre case made of stainless steel, a white and blue dial, and blued feuille hands. The chronograph minutes counter is located at 12 o’clock, the small seconds at 6 o’clock. The IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre with automatic winding and a power reserve of 46 hours is at work inside the case.

IWC Pilot’s Quality Replica Top Gun in White Ceramic

The Top Gun has largely relied on a singular colour of ceramic – black in either a matte or glossy finish. IWC Replica Watches did offer a few models with coloured ceramic cases, until now.

The two new models double the range of ceramic colours offered by IWC. They join the Pilot’s Watch “Mojave” editions launched in 2019 that had an unusual sand-coloured ceramic case, and last year’s “Laureus Sport for Good” in blue ceramic.

Long the brand’s bestselling line, the Pilot’s Replica Watch has been a focus of IWC in recent few years. The brand has made safe bets with iterating on popular models that have received upgrades such as in-house movements, new dial colours, or more compact cases in new materials.

For anyone who likes the standard pilot’s chronograph but wants something more uncommon this is it. While the highlight of the pair is the case material, it’s worth noting that the new colours were achieved with no compromises to the watch’s functionality and performance.

Both Luxury replica watches are still very much a “tool watch” with their low-key palette, and also retain all the important features that characterise IWC’s pilot’s watches, such as resistance to negative pressure and magnetism.

And among the pair the “Stormtrooper” in white is the standout. It is also unique because steel can coated to achieve a similar green hue, something that is not possible with white, at least with the same bright tone.

One of the key features of the new chronographs is accessibility – they are regular production models with reasonable retail prices. The Best IWC replica watches case diameter of 44.5 mm is enormous, especially compared to the steel pilot’s chronograph that’s 41 mm.

Though it did not invent the ceramic watch case, IWC was an early adopter of the material, having introduced a ceramic case as early as 1986 with the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar ref. 3755 that was available in either black or white ceramic.

The cases have the same profile with identical finishing of simple, uniform micro-blasting that creates a finely grained surface. One potential upgrade here would be polished bevels along the lugs, which are found on the steel case pilot’s quality replica watch.

On both chronographs the screwed-in case back, as well as the crown and pushers, are not ceramic. That is the norm for ceramic watches since the material cannot withstand torsional stress. As a result, ceramic is usually used only for static components.

Used for the entire case in Cheap IWC Replica top-of-the-line pilot’s watches like the Tribute to 3705, material is essentially titanium that’s been baked in an oven to form a ceramic coating over its surface that gives it better scratch resistance as well as a charcoal finish.
