2006 - BIG PILOT’S WATCH IW5002 TRANSITIONAL
Of the many chapters in the progression of IWC’s Big Pilot’s Watch collection, few are while elusive and significant for the reason that Ref. IW5002 Transitional. This kind of original Big Pilot’s Watch, produced briefly from delayed 2005 to early 2006, marked an unofficial level in the series’ mechanical growth. Visually, it looked equivalent to the classic IW500201, nevertheless beneath the dial was the 51110 calibre, a newer, higher-beat motion introduced before IWC published the newly upgraded Ref. IW500401 later that season.
The transfer from the original 5011 tama?o to the 51110 calibre may appear minor on paper, but it proclaimed a leap in functionality. The early 5011 movement conquer at 18, 000 vph and was not known for their precision… However , with the arrival of the 51110 movement, IWC improved the formula by simply increasing the frequency for you to 21, 600 vph, as a result improving the stability of the time with out compromising the movement’s personal unsecured power reserve or reliability. A number of IW5002 Transitional watches have the 51111 movement, a principal successor to the 51110 movements, with slight mechanical changes and improved reliability. They can be equipped with an upgraded one with an emblem or decoration.
How many were being produced? No one knows. IWC does not seem to have public production records, and some specify the only semi-reliable mark: the serial number from 314XXXX onwards, although this on its own is not conclusive. It is worthy of noting that the only approach to authenticate a Transitional 5002 is to check the movement’s occurrence. While some may point to the actual Probus Scafusia crown seeing that evidence, this is not conclusive, because IWC often replaces the main " fish-shaped" crown through maintenance unless otherwise exclusively instructed.
Typically the IW5002 Transitional watch can be a mechanical footnote and now any collector's item, a brief reference point for those who appreciate the subtleties, rarities and subtle changes in modern-day watchmaking history. This watch perfectly combines the romanticism of IWC at the beginning of the particular 21st century with the excellence and refinement of after times, making it a moment in which captures the changing instances.
