WELCOME
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to
be absolutely 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 ingeni-
ous idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. 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 fascin-
ation 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.

of rotation via the Pellaton winding mechanism. 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 all other complicated timepieces. To ensure
that this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly
in the future, it is essential to observe a few important oper-
ating instructions.
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 in both hemispheres, the day of the
week, 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 shock-
proof and water-resistant to 6 bar. The engraved rotor with
its 18-carat gold medallion winds the watch in both directions

NORMAL POSITION
This watch has a screw-in crown. Screwing the crown into
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 automatic-

crown are enough to start the movement. However, it is rec-
ommended to wind the watch by turning the crown through
approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure maximum
precision. 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 auto-
matically advances the date during this period.
ally assumes position 0, the winding position. By depress-
ing the crown into positionX and turning it to the right at the
same time, it is screwed down firmly again and secured.
Important: The watch is water-resistant in positions 0, 1 and
2 as long as the crown is not moved. The crown should gen-
erally always be screwed in for normal use to ensure the sta-
bility of the seal and to protect the winding mechanism.
WINDING POSITION
With the crown in the winding position (0), you can also wind
the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the

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 accurately 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
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 pro-
fessional 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

–The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond
2a.m.
–The crown must be pushed back into the normal position
(X) before wearing the watch to avoid unintentional adjust-
ment of the calendar.
SETTING YOUR WATCH CORRECTLY
To set your watch correctly, proceed as follows:
–Release the crown by turning it to the left.
–Wind the movement (approximately 20 revolutions of the
crown).
set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently back-
wards 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 follow-
ing 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 maladjust-
ment of the calendar.

–Turn the hands forwards until the date display changes to
today’s date. The hands will now be positioned between
12midnight and 1 a.m.
–Now turn the hands forwards to the current time. If you
are setting the watch in the afternoon, you must turn the
hands past 12 (noon) again. Now move the minute hand
afew minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then pos
ition 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.
–Push the crown back into position 0 to start the movement.
– Pull out the crown to position 2 and turn the hands forwards
to approximately 4.40 a.m. This ensures that the calendar
mechanism is not in the middle of the automatic switch-
ing phase and that you can also see the calendar displays
easily.
– Push the crown into position 0 and pull it back to position1.
– Slowly turn the crown to the left. The calendar now advances
in steps. Set the display to yesterday’s date, keeping an eye
on the month and the year.
–Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the move-
ment. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to
stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.

area of the last day tells you that the power reserve is about
to expire. You should then wind the watch by hand, if neces-
sary, since the precision can be reduced in this area.
The entire calendar is now automatically set correctly. There
is no need for you to know the current phase of the moon
or whether you are in a leap year. You do not even need to
set the day of the week. This simplified setting is very con-
venient, particularly if you have not worn your IWC watch for
a few days.
POWER RESERVE DISPLAY
The power reserve display is divided into 7 days with con-
tinuous display. The winding mechanism winds the watch
continuously while you are wearing it, and you can follow the
process on the power reserve indicator. The marking in the
