The Big Pilot 43 is such a classic Richemont product. Company-wide and amongst the myriad brands, generally they do best when they keep it simple. One might point to a base Panerai, and most of the IWC pilots series. The Big Pilot has been a classic design for going on 20 years but was always gargantuan; which was a nod to the original WWII pilots watch that it was based on. But that meant that a sizeable portion of the watch wearing population just didn't have the wrist acreage to wear it. There had been a general clamor for a smaller Big Pilot for years. With last year's release of the Big Pilot 43 IWC answered those calls, albeit very smartly. The Big Piltot 43 is distinct from the Big Pilot 46: it has no date and no power reserve indicator and a brand new Pellaton movement with ceramic parts clearly visible through the caseback. That plus an optional steel bracelet makes for a really terrific watch; one that might be expected to have as long of a lifespan as the original Big Pilot.
