That's because the date wheel came from the base Big Pilot 501001
IWC doesn't customize date wheels matching them to the dial colors too often.
Hurry, there's only going to be 250 of these... đ
Limited Edition Big Pilotâs Watch Dedicated To Las Vegas: ...
...and it is only 250 USD too
with a bit of luck if you bet it all on black, #35 Love the caseback
Always liked the white and light coloured dials on the BPs.
A buddy owned the Japan LE, and I was very close on buying the DFB LE back in 2012. Picture credit: ...

I canât imagine that it was just laziness. You would think someone on the design team would have an aesthetic eye and would see how the black date on the white dial sticks out like a sore thumb. I wonder how this happened.? Maybe thereâs a bunch of yes-me...
Personally, I think the current design team knows it's catering to a whole different generation of buyers
Who appear to accept anything. That said, mismatched date wheels have existed a very long time especially on high-end pricey timepieces (like below). Many just plain don't care about small details like this and that's why manufacturers get away with it. S...
Fully agree!
And I have never understood why even Patek doesnât act here on a higher level⌠Best Thomas
Interesting!
I guess we all missed that part: " And two, the date display at 6 oâclock cycles through alternating red and black numbers (like the game) until it comes to the beginning of each month when the number â1â appears in green ."
