WHY WE LOVE IT
–
The annual calendar is truly a technological marvel.
While it plays second fiddle to the perpetual calendar in the minds of most collectors, the reality is that the construction of this calendar mechanism — which generally requires adjusting only once per year, at the end of February — is equally challenging, and in some cases, requires even more components.
This particular annual calendar is special: Part of IWC’s Big Pilot collection, it’s first and foremost an aviator’s watch, but nonetheless incorporates a complex, in-house movement to display the time, day, date, and month. Pretty darn cool, if you ask us!
A Reference IW502702 dating to the 2020s, it’s housed in a 46mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed ‘onion’ crown, and a polished bezel. It features a luminous sunburst grey dial with printed white Arabic indices, a matching handset, month, day, and date apertures at 12:00, a sub-seconds dial at 9:00, and an 8-day power reserve indicator at 3:00.
Powered by the automatic, in-house IWC Calibre 52850 visible via an exhibition caseback, it comes paired to a brown leather strap with a signed, stainless steel deployant clasp. What’s more, the watch is in excellent condition and includes its factory goodies.
We know — your phone can give you all the information that this sophisticated IWC displays on its dial, and for much less financial outlay. But that’s not why you’re here on Analog/Shift, is it?
Get this one on your wrist and you’ll see what we mean!
OVERALL CONDITION
The case is in outstanding condition overall showing light signs of wear from gentle use. Luminous sunburst gray dial with dial with radial subsidiary registers and printed Arabic numerals is in as-new condition with matching handset. Signed onion crown. Sapphire exhibition caseback.
