An unwritten rule of style is that watches are worn on the left wrist, and this is why the crown on most watches is positioned at 3 o’clock. The exception are the so called lefties, or right-hander watches, which are intended to be worn on the right wrist and manipulated using the left hand. These typically have a crown positioned on the left side of the case, at 9 o’clock position.
IWC Schaffhausen presents the new limited edition Big Pilot’s Watch, a first for the company, aimed at those who wear their watches on the right wrist. The Right-hander edition is said to be inspired by the Big Pilot’s Watch Calibre 52 TSC from the 1940s. Generously proportioned to 46.2mm in diameter, it repeat’s the Pilot’s collection’s emblematic design that evokes the look of the cockpit instruments. What’s new in the new design is the positioning of the conical-shaped crown, which now appears on the left side of the case. The right-hander edition is much more practical to operate by left-handed pilots, and it is estimated that almost 40% of them are actually left-handed and wear their watches on the right.
The watch has a stainless steel case with a soft-iron inner case that protects the movement from magnetic fields. The dial is sun-ray brushed slate gray with contrasting back sub-dials and luminescent indices and hands.. Instead of the seconds hand, this limited edition watch features a small seconds counter at 3 o’clock and a power-reserve display situated at 9 o’clock.
IWC Schaffhausen Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Right-Hander is powered by an automatic movement IWC caliber 52010. The caliber is equipped with the Pellaton winding system and it offers around 168 hours (7 days) of power reserve. The movement is finished according to the highest haute horlogerie traditions, even though it remains hidden behind the solid case-back.
The IWC Schaffhausen Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Right-Hander Edition, reference IW501012, is limited to 50 pieces. The model will be available from August 2019, at all IWC boutiques and authorized retailers, with 3 months exclusivity in Australia and France. The price is set to EUR 14,900.
