BIG PILOT'S WATCH PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to be abso-
lutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation
of a watch is more than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an
ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagination. Between time and
timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world
is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868,
we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not only run with
absolute precision but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascination with
the great achievements of master craftsmanship: afascination with new inventions of
a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details that
are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this
IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best
wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described
with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
BIG PILOT'S WATCH PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, the moon phase,
the day, the date, the month and the year in four digits, as well as the remaining
power reserve. The mechanical movement with automatic winding has a power
reserve of approximately 7days (168 hours) when fully wound. Your Big Pilot’s Watch
Perpetual Calendar is protected by a convex sapphire glass of hardness grade 9
on Mohs’ scale. Your watch is water-resistant 6bar. The engraved rotor in 18-carat
gold winds the watch in both directions of rotation via the Pellaton winding system. In
addition to the uniqueness of its functions, it is the display’s legibility and the ease with
which it can be used that distinguishes this watch from other complicated timepieces.
To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it
is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN
X — Normal position (screwed in)
0 — Winding position
1 — Setting the calendar
2 — Time setting
NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown in to its normal position (X)
prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the time or perpetual calendar and also acts as a
double seal to prevent water from seeping into the case. To release the crown, unscrew
it by turning it to the left, where it automatically assumes position 0, the winding position.
By depressing the crown into position X and turning it to the right at the same time, it is
screwed down firmly again and secured.
Important: Although the watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and 2, the crown
should always be screwed in again for normal use (position X).

WINDING POSITION
With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement
by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it
is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in position X when
you are wearing your watch.
SETTING THE CALENDAR
Release the screw-in crown and pull it out to position 1. You can now set the date
by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should not use the rapid-
advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement automatically
advances the date during this period.
Please note:
– If the crown is turned too quickly, the display discs might not be positioned correctly
in the display window. Generally, such a default is automatically corrected by the
movement when the calendar advances within the following 24 hours. Should this not
be the case, the movement needs to be reset by an IWC watchmaker.
– You must not move the calendar beyond the correct date. The complicated movement
is mechanically programmed and cannot be moved back in time without making a
professional adjustment to the movement. However, if you do move the date forwards
beyond the correct date, you have two options: You can either pull out the crown to
position 2 to stop the movement until the calendar setting matches the correct date
once again. This makes sense if the date has been set only a few days ahead. Or, you
take your watch to your watchmaker, who will be able to adjust the movement to reset
the calendar. This is recommended in the event of larger maladjustments.

TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accur-
ately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then posi-
tion the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct
minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when
you restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0.
Moving the hands forwards past midnight causes the calendar to switch to the following
day. When advancing the calendar, you can follow and observe the automatic switching
sequence.
Important:
– Under no circumstances must the hands be turned back between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
as this will result in maladjustment of the calendar.
– The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond 2 a.m.
– The crown must be pushed back into the normal position (X) and screwed in before
wearing the watch to avoid unintentional maladjustment of the calendar.
