IWC Big Pilot's Heritage Watch 48 & 55 Limited Edition Watches
At the IWC watches booth at SIHH 2016, the theme will be all about pilot watches with two of the flagship limited edition models being the new IWC Big Pilot’s Heritage 55 and the related IWC Big Pilot’s Heritage 48.

Sporting a couple of updates, the new El Primero sticks with the vintage formula and offers an homage to a hard-to-find and rather desirable piece from Zenith’s past.Based around a 42mm case, the El Primero 410 is a textbook nod to a successful design from the early 70’s. On this modern version, the sub dials appear a bit smaller, but that could be attributed to the larger dial. The dial remains a slate grey, with updated hour markers and a cleaner use of dial text. There is a date display between four and five, as well as day and month apertures above the sub dials at three and nine. Joining the
