This watch is packed with complications: moon phase indicator at link 6 o'clock, day/night link indicator link at 12 o'clock, retrograde day indicator at 12 o'clock, retrograde 24-hour indicator at the left side of the dial and retrograde date indicator at the right side of the dial.
The Pilot series for IWC has an unmistakable look, and that look is displayed here in full link force – in a package which exudes the military fighter pilot spirit of the Top Gun program. The watch itself is link meant to withstand the extreme strain that pilots experience in the cockpit of link supersonic jets like the F/A-18 Super Hornet, according to IWC. Accentuating this idea is the fact that the sapphire crystal is secured against displacement by a drop in air pressure.
Watch number link one (BN0279SLPS) is a 40mm matte silver stainless steel two-hander with small seconds and date, powered link by an ETA 2895-2 movement. Watch number two (BN0279GNPS) is also 40mm, but comes in a matte link gunmetal stainless-steel case with a rainbow sweeping seconds hand and date at three o'clock. It's powered by an ETA 2892A2 movement. Both watches have open casebacks exposing the movements.
So, which new Hublot creation do you prefer? Do you like the downsized link Big Bang Meca-10 in steel, Frosted Carbon, or King Gold, or do you prefer the verdant link Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green link SAXEM? As always, drop your thoughts in the comments below.
I bought my first Rolex on Father's Day, unknowingly. I had started a new job and it marked a milestone link for me. When I realized what day it was … I smiled. As someone who had an link absent father, I struggled with the holiday link in my youth. The watch quickly became an object of gratitude for my own personal journey.
