IWC Pilot IW501005 ZF Factory Review

IWC Pilot IW501005 model is produced by ZF Factory with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism 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.

Yes, this is exactly the watch I will introduce today: ZF Factory IWC Pilot series IW501005 wristwatch - Bronze Big Pilot.

The IWC Pilot series IW501005 Bronze Big Pilot is a sporty and casual wristwatch, limited to 1500 pieces worldwide. In fact, it is possible to see this watch as a limited edition version of the steel-cased Big Pilot; The main difference is that a slightly harder and rougher bronze material is used in the case. This makes the whole atmosphere of the watch more masculine.

ZF produces the top quality version of the IWC Bronze Big Pilot. Some watch lovers may wonder why the case color is different in the official promotional images and ZF images. Actually, there are two reasons for this: first, the official promotional images have been professionally retouched; Secondly, the bronze case appears darker in color because it has undergone certain oxidation. Since ZF's new batch is brand new bronze cases that have not yet oxidized, the color looks more vibrant and bright.

The ZF IWC Bronze Big Pilot has perfectly reproduced all the details of the original. The dial diameter is quite large, 46.2 mm. The glass is made of real sapphire crystal; It has been both anti-reflective and has a stylish blue coating applied to it. The dial base is pure black. Three large blue annealed steel hour and minute hands are used to indicate the time, all hour markers are engraved in the form of enlarged numbers, and the hour-minute hands and hour markers are filled with lume. There is a triangle sign and brand logo of Big Pilot at the 12th position of the dial, a small dial for the power reserve indicator at the 3rd position, and a date display at the 6th position. The entire design reflects IWC's classic brand elements.

The case of the ZF IWC Bronze Big Pilot is forged from bronze material; The case engraving and polishing is fine and elegant. The case back is forged from titanium alloy, and brand inscriptions and other information consistent with the original are engraved on it. The mechanism uses a high-end replica Cal.52110 automatic mechanical movement with a very long power reserve; In this way, both sensitive and stable operation and the same long power reserve feature as the original are provided.

The buckle of the ZF IWC Bronze Big Pilot is made of the same bronze material as the case and is designed in the form of a pin buckle. The strap is made of imported calfskin and meticulously hand stitched. The buckle is round and elegant, and the strap is smooth and pleasing to the eye.

IWC Pilot series IW501005 Bronze Big Pilot is limited to 1500 pieces worldwide. When it comes to such a watch, with both its external design and internal quality, this figure is of course very insufficient for watch enthusiasts around the world. At this point, ZF has solved the problem perfectly; While it allows everyone who loves this watch to enjoy it, it also offers an extremely high price-performance. In comparison, it's a really good luxury IWC pilot's watch that's worth trying and owning!
