Model Overview
It started in 1940 when IWC produced 1,000 military navigators’ watches. These oversized “B-Uhr” watches had distinctive dials and pocket watch movements converted to central seconds to be used for military applications.
In 2002, IWC introduced a new automatic movement and modified it to central seconds. The result was a contemporary take on the classic B-Uhr watch, dubbed the "Grosse Fliegeruhr" or Big Pilot's Watch (model number 5002). This exceptional watch had an oversized diameter of 46.2 mm and featured a dial design that closely resembled its 1940 predecessor, but with the addition of an impressive eight-day power reserve.
