IWC Big Pilot Replica

IWC Big Pilot Replica is not usually associated with fast cars. The name alone conjures up a formality that's almost royal. The Japanese watchmaker is about to change that, as it launches a limited-edition of custom-order watches with carmaker Nissan.

Nissan's Skyline IWC Big Pilot Replica was launched in 1969. While car enthusiasts of the high-brow kind may be sneering at Nissan, street and track drivers are aware that this model is a Nissan to be praised. Nissan, which is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary, invited Giorgetto Giugiaro to create a concept vehicle to mark the occasion. Italdesign, which turned 50 in this year, was also invited to develop a concept car marking the occasion.

The 1972 Nissan Skyline 2000 IWC Big Pilot Replica was custom-built to attend the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show and is the ancestor of the IWC Big Pilot Replica.

The IWC Big Pilot Replica is a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6 that produces 720 horsepower. It has GT-3-spec turbochargers and intercoolers. The exterior of the car is a sexy black-and-gold beast, and the interior is decked out in Alcantara leather and carbon fibre.Upto 50 of these will be produced, priced at a million buckaroos each.Notexactlychumpchange.

Nissan wanted to do something different to celebrate the IWC Big Pilot Replica 50th anniversary. So, they partnered with IWC Big Pilot Replica and created a special-order watch. The brand basically reworked a IWC Big Pilot Replica Sport SBGC223G ceramic and titanium model to create a watch that matches the IWC Big Pilot Replica style. The titanium elements have been replaced with rose gold and the 24-hour indicator on the bezel has been transformed into a tachymeter to match the speedster nature of the watch. IWC Big Pilot Replica has cleverly slipped in applied numeral indices in between the standard 12-hour markers on the dial to show the second-time-zonefunction.

The dial is made of carbon fibre, and minor elements have been altered to give it the feel of a dashboard. The power reserve display is similar to the fuel tank indicator, and the minute track with a gradient gold gives the dial an ethereal look when the light hits it. The IWC Big Pilot Replica logo is visible on the custom-made oscillating motor that can be seen through the caseback. This nods to the powerful car this watch was made for.Richard Mille Replica Watches You can also use a design configurator website to create your own watch.
