IWC Unveils Exclusive Father and Son Pilot’s Watches

International Watch Co. Schaffhausen of Switzerland have released an exclusive special edition of watches called “Pilot’s Watches for Father and Son” which will be made available as a double edition featuring one “Father’s” watch and one “Son’s” watch or as a several-piece set for the Dad who has more than one son .

The larger sized timepiece in the set is for the father and is based on IWC’s Big Pilot’s timepiece.  Featuring a week-long power reserve and date display, the watch is also water resistant to 6 bar and has a 46 mm diameter.  The smaller watch, made for a son, is a bit smaller in diameter at 39 mm, but is also water resistant to 6 bar and features a power reserve of 42 hours rather than a full week.  Both timepieces are also made to withstand significant drops in air pressure.

The two timepieces both have similar designs; both have a stainless-steel case, both have Sapphire glass that is convex with an antireflective coating on the two sides, and both feature details like a black alligator leather strap.  The wearer’s name will also be engraved on the back of the watch as a loving dedication from father to son; the same engraving also has the practical value of avoiding mix-ups if a father has several sons.

The Father and Son Pilot’s Watches are equipped for adventure and are pieces that will become family heirlooms, handed down from one generation to the next.
