The generously proportioned case diameter of 46.2mm, as well as the iconic design in the style of an easy-to-read cockpit instrument, were the inspiration for the Big Pilot’s Watch Calibre 52 TSC from the 1940s. This version, which is limited to 250 pieces, was explicitly designed to be worn on the right wrist. For this reason, the eye-catching, diamond-shaped crown is situated on the left-hand side of the case. This makes it infinitely more practical to operate, for example, for left-handers. A soft-iron inner case protects the IWC-manufactured 52010 calibre from the detrimental effects of magnetic fields on the watch’s accuracy. The automatic Pellaton winding system is fitted with ceramic components and builds up a seven-day power reserve in two barrels. This Big Pilot’s Watch features a power-reserve display at “9 o’clock” and a small seconds hand at “3 o’clock.”

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.

Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
