Wonder if ZF will produce Saint-Exupery edition as well. (Not pp) That's my favorite!

Very exiting... Kind of figured this would be the next step. Only a matter of time before we see more dials. Wish zf would take a shot at the Markus bueler big pilot too.

IWC BIG PILOT 51111 Calibre MVMT

Mechanical movement, seven-day power reserve, automatic Pellaton winding system, date display, power reserve display, central seconds hand with stop function, Glucydur balance with high-precision adjustment cam on the balance bars, Breguet balance springMOVEMENT

  • Calibre: 51111
  • Vibrations: 21,600/ h / 3 Hz
  • Jewels: 42
  • Power reserve: 7 days (168 h)
  • Winding: Automatic


On this video it is to be observed that detected beat rate is 28k on rep. So, the rep seconds hand will be smoother than gen. In reality, the lower quality of Chinese movement will look not so smooth so on par with gen.

That's correct.
here we can clearly see the difference between 21k and 28k bph, and there is a visible micro stuttering of the second hand (5009rep) so it is observed that even beeing 28k bph mvmt in motion it does look like 21k or smth in between.

Can anyone shed any light on what the part numbers are for the black / brown gen straps for the 5004/5009 along with the applicable sizings?

Brown I believe is IWA22243(145mm x 55mm, standard size), IWA22244XS(135mm x 55mm), IWA22245XL(155mm x 55M)

Black I believe is IWA05992(145mm x 55mmm standard size), IWA05994XS(135mm x 55mm), IWA05993XL(155mmx55M)

And if you want to go all out, I believe the clasp is IWA05337!


In other news, I have placed an order for the IWC 5009, I will post up some pictures as soon as I have them!

Deployant clasp for 5009 is IWA59147. The clasp is thicker and larger than IWA05337 (5004)

The movement is not the same, ZF removed unnecessary decoration from mvmt to keep as robust as possible, you can clearly see the difference between... ofc it's not gen like by all means, but who cares with sealed back.

Are the decorations the main culprit of broken down movements?

NO!
My Portuguese V1 broke down after just 10 days.
Got a brand new movement V2 installed, and it was DOA!

But if it's a different movement in this Big Pilot, then everything may be fine. ;)
