IWC - Pilot's Watch - Blue Dial - Black Rubber Strap

A precise 1:1 recreation of the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph, featuring a deep navy sunburst dial set within a 41mm brushed stainless steel case and paired with a black rubber strap for a modern aviation-sport aesthetic. The dial transitions from vivid mid-blue at center to darker midnight tones toward the perimeter, producing dynamic reflectivity under shifting light angles. Arabic numerals are sharply printed in high-contrast white with accurate font geometry, stroke thickness, and spacing consistent with the original model. Luminous hour markers ensure nighttime legibility, while the chronograph subdials feature finely executed concentric snailed textures. Polished steel hands with luminous inserts provide crisp readability across all lighting conditions. The double calendar aperture at 3 o’clock displays day and date with correct window proportions and typography. The 41mm stainless steel case exhibits satin brushing across the mid-case with polished chamfers along the lug architecture for ergonomic wrist flow. Cylinder-style chronograph pushers and a fluted screw-down crown reinforce the functional instrument aesthetic, while the anti-reflective sapphire crystal reduces glare for cockpit clarity. The fitted black rubber strap introduces a tactical visual language and emphasizes durability and sport-forward comfort. The strap integrates with a folding clasp for secure fastening and balanced wrist presence without compromising flexibility. Powered by a custom 1:1 automatic chronograph caliber, this recreation mirrors the mechanical operation of the original movement, including chronograph engagement response, sweeping seconds behavior, day/date alignment, and winding feel. Rotor geometry, engraving depth, and finishing techniques are matched for high visual fidelity.
