There are Swiss replica watches with so much history and so many variations in their collections that it would be a disservice to try to cover every facet of them in one article. The Omega Speedmaster, Cartier Tank, and TAG Heuer Carrera are three such collections that come to mind, but another good example is the IWC Pilot's Watch. A few weeks ago, we compared vintage and modern variations of the iconic Mark XVII, but this week we come to an equally popular and integral part of the larger Pilot's Replica Watch collection: the IWC Big Pilot.

The famous pilot's replica watch has its origins in the 1930s and 1940s and the military air campaigns of the Second World War. IWC, in collaboration with a number of other Swiss and German manufacturers, began to produce the distinctive Beobachtungs-Uhren, or observation watch, for the German Air Force, the Luftwaffe. This B-Uhr style (example above) featured a large steel case and crown, a large triangle at the 12 o'clock mark, and an easy-to-read black-and-white-accent dial. Interest in this style of pilot watch arose after the war, and it has remained a popular aesthetic for years after the fall of the Axis powers. Today, of the five original manufacturers of the B-Uhr, IWC, Stowa, and Laco continue to produce popular contemporary iterations of the original piece, and one of the most enduring is the cult classic piece of IWC Replica, now known as the great pilot.
