A new member decided to join the Pilot family 😍

Feb 28, 2020,15:14 PM
 

Finally got a call from the IWC boutique today. It’s the only piece coming to Beirut. I’ve placed the order back in SIHH 2019 and chose my individual number 😉 


The sand color ceramic is so unusual. It’s a love or hate affair. I personally find it so beautiful and especially when you have many other variations. It would blend in perfectly with the others. Definitely not your daily beater. More of a funky weekend watch if I may say

Here it is after 13 months of wait!







Hope you like it! 

Have a nice weekend everyone,

Laurent

I love it. I would put it on black canvas w/ sand stitching. BAM.

I was thinking sand canvas with light brown stitching matching both the case and dial [nt]

It was originally released with a sand cloth/canvas strap

Not sure why that changed: ...

Yeah I know. Was in SIHH and tried it on

 
 By: Makilla : February 28th, 2020-16:33
Fell in love with the canvas strap. Apparently they switched to rubber instead in order to avoid fast strap aging. Light color canvas will get dirty and age in a matter of weeks ...

Well at least they fixed the day/date...

Background with the matching dial color.😆

Definitely one of the more interesting pieces released last year. Congrats.

As some others have said, I’m not sure what they did with the strap originally presented. It does need something else, and perhaps a contrast might be good. Looking forward to more pictures of this one.

Thanks for the kind words! I am already trying to find a nice strap.

Will definitely post new photos once the new strap is on

Congratulations to this absolutely unusual watch!

 
 By: jkvs : March 1st, 2020-05:36
The ceramic is stunning, maybe unique. To make things round you might look for a leather strap that matches the color of the dial... That would be a killer combination 😊

Cool one, Laurent. And great strap, too! Bravo. [nt]

It's nice to have another option beside the (very cool) rubber honeycomb strap (made in Austria) [nt]
