IWC Pilot IW500901 Review

The IWC Pilot IW500901 model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid stainless steel case, 47 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Movement and Caliber Performance

In 2008, a small factory cloned the IWC Big Pilot; There was a big difference between it and the original watch, whether it was its appearance or its mechanism, and the power reserve was fake. Seven years later the Z factory reproduced this Big Pilot; They updated the dial and movement structure, and even the power reserve was real and increased from 42 hours to 12 hours. Big Pilot is one of IWC's most classic series, and the original watch is also sold at a high price, so owning such a 1:1 replica is the dream of many. Here, I will review the Big Pilot IW500901 replica watch, which is a wonderful watch with its perfect function and mechanism closest to the original.

Case and Body Workmanship

The large case is brushed and its diameter is almost 47 mm. Pilot watches have a common case design similar to dress watches; The dial shows everything clearly in front of your eyes. When you look at the case from the side, you will see the difference between the 1:1 replica and those cheap replicas. Replica IWC well polished, especially the decoration; It has a polished silver edge that looks like a mirror. The fluid design of the case ensures a perfect fit on your wrist. Please see some photos below; The glass reflects a slight color when viewed from a certain angle, indicating that the sapphire glass has a layer of anti-reflective coating. That's why the dial is very clear even under sunlight; as if the glass were invisible.

Dial and Hand Details

The black dial is extremely legible thanks to those big white hour markers and hour and minute hands. Hours other than 3, 6, 9 and 12 have numeral hour markers. The entire design of the dial meets strict military requirements, not only because of the contrasting color use of black and white, but also because lume material is applied to the 3, 6, 9, 12 markers and the hour and minute hands in the center; Thus, the dial can be read even in the dark. The onion-shaped crown is an iconic feature of the Big Pilot; It is very easy to open and turn, and the compatibility with the case is perfect, so the replica can be waterproof up to 50 meters.

Finally, it's time for the mechanism; This is a clone IWC 51111 automatic movement. The movement has a functional power reserve, which means the remaining energy indicator is working, not fake like in previous IWC Big Pilot replicas. If you ever get the chance to own such a replica, you should open the case back; Then you will see why it is sold at a high price and the progress made by the replica watch factory.
