IWC launched the Pilot's Watch Double-Chronograph Edition "Patrouille Suisse", in 2014, to pay tribute to the Swiss aerobatic squadron's high-flying expertise. The Schaffhausen manufacturer has once again paid tribute to the Patrouille Suisse by releasing a special edition watch.

Chopard Replica's Watch Edition "Patrouille Suisse" is the same as the previous edition which celebrates the flying skills of Patrouille Suisse. It was produced in a limited quantity of 250 pieces. The gray-colored watch has a stainless steel case with distinctive design elements.

The stainless steel case measures 46mm in diameter by 16mm thick. The case has antireflective coatings and convex sapphires on both sides.Chopard Replica It also features an imposing crown that is a reminder to those early days of aviation, when pilots had to be exposed in open or unheated cockpits. Water resistance is up to 60 meters. The case is also enclosed in a soft-iron enclosure that protects against magnetic fields.

The dial is a slate color with a sun-pattern finish. The large Arabic numerals, hands and arrowhead index located at 12 o'clock provide excellent legibility in low-light conditions. Two sub-dials make up a dial that is clearly organized. At the 3 o'clock position is the power reserve counter, which provides a reliable indication as to how much time is left until the movement stops. On the other side, the small seconds display is at the 9 o'clock position. A small date window is also located at the 6 o'clock position on this uncluttered dial.

The heart of IWC's Big Pilot's Watch Edition "Patrouille Suisse" is the largest automatic caliber 51011 movement, which has all the features that IWC's mechanical watches have proven to be worth.

A clever train within the power reserve stops the mechanism mechanically after 168 hours (7 days). Stopping the movement before the entire tension of the spring is exhausted eliminates the danger of a decreasing torque in the mainspring. The perfect mechanism maintains the same accuracy throughout the entire time that the watch runs.Omega Seamaster Replica The 42-jewels movement oscillates with a semi-rapid speed of 21,600 beats an hour (3 Hz).

The rear of the caseback features an engraving that resembles three jets similar to the Northrop F-5E Tiger II, which is the plane used by the Patrouille Suisse for their aerial displays. The case back also features the words "Tribute To Patrouille Suisse", and the sequential numbering "001/250", which indicates the exclusivity of the limited edition watch.
