What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

IWC Schaffhausen Iw329602 Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar Proset

Owners and reviewers widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw329602 Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar Proset for its innovative crown-operated perpetual calendar adjustment, which allows for both forward and backward setting and eliminates the need for corrector buttons. The 42mm case size is noted as more wearable than previous Big Pilot models, and the Bordeaux and gold color scheme is described as striking by some. However, opinions are divided on the dial's legibility, with some finding the maroon and gold combination busy and others appreciating the complications. Some owners find the watch too large for wrists under 7 inches, with lug overhang being a concern, and a few commenters dislike the appearance of the moon phase indicators. The watch has 100m water resistance and a 60-hour power reserve.
