Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2021, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Edition “Le Petit Prince” was launched as a limited edition of 1,500 pieces featuring the editions signature ocean blue theme. Cased in an oversized 46mm diameter stainless steel case with its signature oversized half onion crown features a practical rotating bezel with its city ring inscribed on the insert. While an aperture at 12 o’clock indicates its second time zone, once the bezel is rotated, the second time zone adjusts itself. More importantly, crossing the date line, the date adjust itself too. Powered by the in-house cal. 82760, the caliber features 60 hours of power reserve as well as equipped with a “Pellaton winding system” designed to reduce friction and wear by incorporating zirconium oxide ceramic components.

The present example numbered 159 from circa 2021 is offered in “like new” condition with no signs of use and wear with its full set of accessories offered.
