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

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 beauti...  

awesome mil-spec look

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

It was originally released with a sand cloth/canvas strap

It’s awesome

Is that really a rubber strap???

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

Big Congrats!!!

I see hundreds of new releases but this is the only one I would actually pay for, just awesome and so different from the usual boring stuff. S

Dear Laurent,

many congrats for your new Pilot acquisition. It is fore sure something very special. I like the day and date windows in the color of the dial. All the best and wear it in good health Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Very kind of you, thank you very much! Your Portuguese MR is a marvel truth be told Wear it in the best of health as well! Laurent

Too kind, dear Lauent!

I will do so. 😊

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 😊

Merci mon ami :) [nt]
