Pilot's Friday - IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Edition Titanium ....

Team,

The combination of a Pilot's watch and a plane is just natural.

The fantastic team of the local boutique give to me as a gift for my birthday an airplane model, that I believe reminds the classic Lockheed P-38 Lightning from WW II.

Very nice photography prop.

Here are today's pictures.

First a colage:

Now the individual pictures

The Big Pilot's Heritage Edition Titanium is one of my prefered BP. The titanium case makes it very lightweight.

A better view of the plane

Finally, a B&W shot

Thanks for seeing.

Cheers,

Nilo

(Photoshoped image) It could be an amazing piece. Now serious. It seems that the markets in general don't go for watches without date. I made a sugestion to Christoph Grainger-Herr, IWC CEO, that IWC could make no date watches for collectors and charge ev...

Great shots as usual dear Nilo!! This is a beautiful variant of this Big Watch! The P-38 model makes for a most suitable background for the BP. That´s a superb gift from the IWC AD!!

Have you read Ben Rich’s book “Skunk Works?” Fabulous read about Johnson and the start of Skunk Works.

It's on my Kindle ...

Need to move it to the top of my reading queue (quite long). I follow Kelly Johnson since I was a kid and hear about the fabulous U-2 plane and Gary Powers. A long time ago, 58 years back. Powers was shot down by the Soviet Union on May 1st, 1960! Certain...

Nice pictures of the best looking Big Pilot I've ever seen.

I always have liked the look of the Big Pilot, but not the size, though. Beautiful dial, hands and strap. Thanks for sharing. Vte

The current one, with 46.2mm ...

Is more wearable, IMHO, and still is a Big Pilot. Cheers, Nilo
