IWC Big Pilot's Shock Absorber XPL Watch
Eight years in development, IWC's patented SPRIN-g PROTECT system is the star of its Big Pilot's Shock Absorber XPL. The system has a cantilever spring that protects the movement against g-forces generated by impacts on the watch, allowing the movement to keep moving independently of the case and come to a more gentle stop. The case is made from an IWC-developed titanium alloy dubbed Ceratanium that combines the lightness of titanium with the hardness and scratch-resistance of ceramic. The stealthy design is completed with a black dial, an anti-reflective coating on the glass, and a black rubber strap with leather inlay. Limited to just 10 watches per year and 30 in total.
