Introducing The Titanium 1:1 Replica IWC Big Pilot “IWC Racing Works” Edition

Apart from the launch of a new edition of the cheap fake IWC Big Pilot – and yes, we mean by that the real deal, with an oversized case, and dial with power reserve and date, not the streamlined and smaller BP43 – which is always something to praise, there are a few things with this new model to tickle the interest of hardcore fans of the model. And it mostly has to do with the use of titanium for the case. At first, you might argue that this isn’t truly important, since perfect replica IWC has long been using titanium (remember the 1980s AAA super clone IWC x PD watches with titanium case and bracelet). But titanium remains a rare feature for the classic, dare I say emblematic Big Pilot. There’ve only been a handful of editions of the BP made in titanium, including the Heritage reference IW501004 or the highly attractive Safari “Tribute to 5002” reference IW501007.

The use of titanium for the case is what makes this limited edition of the luxury fake IWC Big Pilot (IW501019) truly special. Retaining the classic dimensions of the model, meaning 46.2mm in diameter and 15.4mm in thickness (sizeable, but that’s part of the charm of the BP), the case is crafted from grade 5 titanium, finished with a matte blasted surface. The rest of the features are known, such as the use of a convex, anti-reflective sapphire crystal secured against displacement by drops in air pressure, a screw-in crown and a solid titanium back paired with a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields. What’s new, however, is the 100m water-resistance, while all cheap replica IWC Big Pilot watches were until now rated at 60m.

This Swiss copy IWC Big Pilot’s Watch IWC Racing Works also comes with a new dial. It combines a sunray-brushed blue base with muted markers, numerals and tracks in grey to match the titanium case. The display is classic BP, with central H-M-S, power reserve at 3 o’clock and date at 6 o’clock – with a tone-on-tone disc. The oversized hands also feature grey luminous inserts. The super clone watch is worn on a textured leather strap in blue, closed by a titanium folding clasp.

Inside the case, no surprise. We have here the calibre 52110, an in-house automatic movement with a double-barrel and 7-day power reserve. Wound by a bi-directional Pellaton system, Swiss made replica IWC features wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic parts, for the areas that are subject to high stresses.

The Titanium AAA super clone IWC Big Pilot’s Watch IWC Racing Works IW501019 is a limited edition of 500 pieces. It will first be available exclusively in flagship stores in Zurich, Dubai, and Shanghai. Later, it will be available in selected best copy IWC boutiques and online. It is priced at EUR 16,000, USD 15,300 or CHF 16,000.

WHY REPLICA IWC’S NEW CERAMIC PILOT’S WATCH IS ANYTHING BUT PLASTIC

For well over a decade, Swiss fake IWC has partnered with Laureus Sport for Good, an organization that supports programs across the world that uses organized sports to improve the lives of children by promoting equality. Every year since 2006, best quality replica IWC has released a limited edition watch (typically featuring a blue dial) that draws attention to these efforts. These watches are often prized by collectors, sell out frequently, and represent a more daring design than what you’d find in the permanent IWC collection, which is kind of the whole point. Last week, luxury fake IWC online unveiled this year’s Sport for Good collaboration, a pilot’s watch with a blue ceramic case. The commentary online, then, went a little haywire, and got me thinking about ceramic super clone watches in general, and colored ceramic cases in particular.

Let’s get the basic specs out of the way first. The cheap fake IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Edition “Laureus Sport for Good” (not exactly the most elegant name) is quite simple on paper. This is essentially copy IWC’s core 41mm pilot’s watch with a Sellita based movement with a blue dial and a blue ceramic case. The footprint and format of this watch are practically ubiquitous at this point – even if you don’t have personal experience with high quality replica IWC pilot’s watches (which we’ve covered extensively in a variety of guises in the recent past), you might have encountered a watch in this genre that feels very similar by any number of other brands. In a lot of ways these are the most toolish of tool watches, and while devotees will go on at length (and I mean at length) about the subtle differences between pilot’s replica watches for sale built by different brands in different eras, there’s an equally compelling case to be made that if you’ve seen one, you’ve kinda seen them all. I might not go that far, personally, but the general layout of these top fake pilot’s watches was standardized for a reason, and if we follow that old maxim that speaks of things not needing fixing lest they be broken, you begin to understand why they’re so easily identifiable and have endured through the decades.

Where this particular watch sets itself apart is the ceramic case. As you can see from the photos, it’s blue. And again, it’s ceramic, a material that has been used for years by best 1:1 replica IWC (a good explainer of the origins of ceramic cases can be found in Blake’s discussion of the recent Tribute to 3705). Colored ceramic, though, is a bit more exotic. Ceramic watches with black cases are certainly fairly well understood, but something about a ceramic case in a bright primary color feels a bit at odds with what our understanding of a higher end luxury watch should be. This is something that’s worth exploring.

If you find yourself looking at photos of the Swiss made fake IWC Pilot’s Watches Automatic Edition “Laureus Sport for Good” (we’ll just go with “ceramic Laureus” from here on out) and thinking to yourself that it really looks a lot like a Swatch, well, I guess on some level, I can’t really blame you. It has a simple aviation inspired dial layout. OK, plenty of Swatches over the years have explored the super clone pilot’s watch genre. The case is circular in shape. Ditto for the vast majority of Swatches ever produced. And the case, as mentioned, is blue. Without a doubt, the defining characteristic of Swatch watches over the years has been their brightly colored plastic cases. And if the world existed only in two dimensions, and the wholesale replica watches could only be experienced in photos, it would be fair to continue comparing it to a Swatch. But a ceramic watch, even one made in a primary color, is a very different thing than a watch made of plastic.

To make a ceramic cheap replica watches case, inorganic, nonmetallic powders are blasted with incredibly high heat for an extremely specific amount of time (if it’s fired for too long, or not long enough, you end up with unusable material). The solid material that results from this precision heating and cooling process is highly durable and resistant to scratches, making it a great choice for watchmaking applications. It’s also lightweight, which makes cases made from ceramic a natural fit for sports fake watches for men like the ceramic Laureus. It’s not a material, however, that is particularly easy to finish in a luxurious way, but brands like Swiss movement replica IWC, Omega, and Hublot have made a lot of advancements over the last twenty years in their ceramic processes, which means we now regularly see ceramic cases with alternating finishes that look and feel a lot like what you’d find on a steel copy watch.

Adding color to a ceramic IWC replica for sale is tricky. The sintering process that fires ceramic naturally darkens the material, so adding the right mix of pigment at different stages of that process requires some trial and error. It also has an impact on the integrity of the material itself, and brands that have been using ceramic for a long time have generally figured out the right mix of zirconium oxide and other compounds to keep colored ceramic strong through the heating process. There was a time when perfect fake IWC enthusiasts were concerned with brittle ceramic literally shattering in the event of a drop, but real world cases of lugs falling clean off in the event of an impact appear to be few and far between (but not completely unheard of).
