A couple of years ago, IWC introduced a Big Pilot’s watch with a device developed by the brand’s Experimental Engineering Division to protect the movement from extreme shocks. Not any only shock, mind you, but acceleration forces in excess of 30,000Gs (akin to the speed of a battleship shell) that no pilot could survive. Today’s big news is the release of the UK perfect replica IWC Big Pilot’s Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL watches, an alliance of the brand’s advanced shock-absorbing system and a delicate tourbillon complication.
Best fake IWC watches’ patented SPRIN-g PROTECT shock-absorbing system took eight years to develop and is based on a cantilever spring that suspends and cushions the movement inside the case. Made from bulk metallic glass (BMG), the spring spreads shock forces across its length and width, protecting movement against g-forces, a vital consideration for pilots in supersonic jets. However, to incorporate the brand’s 82915 calibre with a flying one-minute tourbillon, the eight arms of the cantilever spring had to be redesigned. The good news is that during tests, the tourbillon movement survived shocks in excess of 10,000G!
Reducing mass is critical for the performance of the shock absorber, and the plates, bridges and rotor of IWC’s 82915 tourbillon calibre have been skeletonised. You might remember that the same calibre was featured in very different habitats, like Le Petit Prince and the Swiss made copy IWC Big Pilot Markus Bühler watches.
The UK cheap super clone watches with openworked dial is reduced to a simple black ring with minute markings and a triangle with two dots at noon. The 56-part flying tourbillon weighs just 0.663 grams, and the brand’s Pellaton winding system with wear-free ceramic components builds up a power reserve of 80 hours in the mainspring. To avoid blocking the view of the movement and shock-absorbing system, the hands are skeletonised and treated with Super-LumiNova.
Highly technical, the 44mm high quality replica watches have Ceratanium case and crown, another IWC proprietary titanium alloy material. Combining titanium’s lightweight yet robust properties with the hardness and scratch-resistance of ceramic, the 13.1mm thick Ceratanium case has distinctive rubber bumpers on the sides matching the black rubber strap with its Ceratanium pin buckle. It is water-resistant to 100 metres. The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL is a limited edition of 100 pieces.
