Inspired by the design cues of the G-Class, the Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 is IWC’s first timepiece to feature a case made of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material. The manufacturing process for this innovative new material was engineered in close collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Unlike in conventional carbon fibre-reinforced-plastics, the matrix of this composite material is made of ceramic rather than plastic. CMC components are extremely damage-tolerant and insensitive to thermal shocks. These unique properties make them the material of choice for applications with extremely high requirements in terms of lightness, strength and temperature resistance – from aerospace to brake discs for sports and luxury cars. The starting point for manufacturing a CMC watch case is a conventional carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. In a heat treatment called pyrolysis, lasting several hours, the plastic matrix is converted to carbon. This process leaves behind a dense weave of fibers embedded in a porous carbon matrix. Subsequently, silicon crystals are placed on top of the component, and everything is heated in an oven. During this so-called siliconization, silicon is pulled into the cavities and chemically reacts with the carbon, forming a new matrix made of silicon carbide ceramic. After finishing with diamond tools, the CMC cases exhibit a matte black colour and a unique structure determined by the fibres, making each piece unique. In addition to the Big Pilot’s characteristic power reserve display at 3 o’clock, this edition features a small second counter at 9 o’clock. The opposing subdials with external white rings imitate the typical headlights of the G-Class. The black dial is embossed with a relief-like technical structure inspired by the air intakes of Mercedes-AMG performance cars. Unlike the classic Big Pilot, which has printed numerals and indices, this special edition features appliques that have been PVD-coated in black and filled with luminous material. The Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63 is powered by the IWC-manufactured 52010 calibre, a robust and precise automatic movement. The Pellaton winding system with ceramic components builds up a power reserve of seven days in two barrels. The movements is visible through tinted sapphire glass back, which features a Mercedes-Benz star and is reminiscent of the spare wheel cover on the back of the G-Class. This Big Pilot’s Watch is fitted on a black rubber strap with a microfiber inlay.
