Am I late to the game, have we already talked about this limited Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Black Carbon?
I think I quite like it, I have not had an IWC since the Port. 7 Day in red gold.
Don't know the qualities of carbon or how robust it is.

Yeah, I am totally digging it too, but I actually find the strap fitting. Wonder how many of the supposed 100 is sold.
At a price of around 17K USD, a bit steep though.
On car Carbon parts, they spray a glossy clearcoat to make them shiny
So, I'd like to see how they make shiny watch Carbon cases.
Like I said, they spray their CF with glossy clearcoat polyurethane...
Something I haven't seen on watch case.
Carbon: yes. Stealthy: no
It will be in the league of stealthy watches a big, big hit but I would have preferred the classic look in bright white. The above said coming from a man who likes also a Patek Blue Ellipse in yg … !
Hahaha, doubt I would ever handle this though, assume the.
100 will be accounted for soon.
I don’t recall seeing it posted here before.
It’s a cool piece, would need to see in person though.
Looks good.
But where is the regular ceramic/ceratanium top gun Big Pilot? It is still missing in the current line for some time. I was very close to buy the former model.
Because they made enough? 😁
I would like to see a Titanium BP with a black/gray dial and hands theme like the above.
LOLOL - You know? That is a very good point.
I like titanium, and the weight of it, or lack thereof. Seeing all these Bit Pilots really makes me consider whether I would get another Port. as my next I.W.C.
Yes! I was dying to buy the 501004
But when I went into the boutique in HK airport, I did not fall in love with it. I think it was the yellow/patina lume. The grey dial above with whiter lume would have been what I needed. ....otherwise I just have to wait for a 501007 at retail...not sure...
Exactly!
The IWC titanium finish has a brownish hue to it and doesn't look that great combined the beige/yellow markings on the dial. That's why I suggested that IWC should have a Ti model with a black/white dial.
Hmmmm, I see your point on trying something new.
That said, titanium would sound like a good metal to work with for the next BP iteration.
