Thanks so much buddy. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I really really like this watch! 😱 fantastic video A! ❤️✨ it looks really good on your wrist!

That IWC watch, fantastic look. Spot on. Love the fact that you kept the "blooper moment" ... made my day 😂

I worked on Tornado GR4's for 15 years mate. That oil change is pretty simple. I dont think ive recovered since they were retired if im honest. Opening to this video properly made me smile mate. Great content as ever.

My father is in the Italian Air force and I grew up with him wearing the A.M.I Lemania 5100, the dial of this model reminds me of that

That is absolutely gorgeous! Love the grey - love EVERYTHING about this watch ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve heard a ‘mike drop’ before… now we have a ‘light drop’. Thanks for keeping it in - love the dry humour. Keep the good work up. Thanks for another excellent video.

I too have a limited edition Big Pilot (200) and 3 other IWC’s and just like their brand in general. I’m fact I know I’m going to buy the green dial Chrono too when I get to Vegas in November for their private client event. Ill tell you what I really liked about the piece you reviewed and it’s the changes in the hands. Just a little thing but it’s one reason why we’re all watch junkies… there’s something in every piece that makes us have to have something. Nice work Adrian…loved it.

Great looking Sinn.

I know it’s not a “Pilot” thing, but I wish you could get more of their watches on a bracelet. Great video as usual!

I dig it! One of the better watch collabs I’ve seen in a while. Great video as always 👏

The gray numerals and hour markers are a subtle and timeless touch. Gray and black will blend with whatever else you're wearing -timeless.

Can't ignore the fact that this is by far my favorite Channel.

A very interesting concept and I like this innovative collaboration. Great video as always Adrian.

Love the coverage of IWC watches on this channel. Keep up the good work

"I need to do an oil change on my Tornado GR4" .... Brilliant! Getting a coffee and then getting buckled in for yet another great video.

Prefer the standard piece tbh, not into the whole stealth thing- for me legibility is key. Cheers mate 👍🏻

i think this version aims for the "dress flieger" look. obviously legibility is also key to a pilot who would want to wear this

That IWC is a thing of beauty. I love the grey and matte dulled look. I wond3r if any other brands will go for the colour combo.

This is IWC Pilot's Chronograph is a thing of a beauty

Great video thank you! A cool IWC pilot with a twist. Nice finishing by machine and the black rotor is a welcome touch. Technically an excellent watch! Definitely appeals to a collector with the exclusivity.

Looking forward to getting this on my wrist (and to learning the secret handshake).

Desperate for the backstory of how this happened. How did they get IWC on board? Is this a signal that top brands are looking for new ways to engage and activate the community? Inquiring minds want to know, Adrian!

It's mostly a changed dial from the standard Pilots Chrono 41. Didn't take much.

The watch club thing sounds cool! Great watch.

Got to admit I haven’t watched or read a single thing from Hodinkee! But the Collective have sure come up with a stylish design! Probably the more subdued it is the worse it is for use in the military hahaha! I need to start getting into IWC!

27 people have disliked this video? It must have been the LED light falling, such sensitive souls. I fucking love this watch and I agree that the toning down of the dial works so well.

I really like it. Definitely like to see more IWC watches on the channel.

Great combination of colors, German date wheel, and display back….everything that was lacking on the similar 41mm Spitfire model. Love it, but not enough to apply for a club.

Really like that.... have always been a fan of the IWC pilot and those subtle changes really add rather than take away from the watch...Nice thanks Ade.

Still don’t get why every watch featured in this channel looks very desirable. Even the ones I never thought I would be interested in. This is how you influence people. Bravo Adrian.

My only regret is that i have...but one like to give Adrian, but he has it! Cheers Mate, love your channel

Excellent small touches.

Black leather strap with a brown leather belt… 😱😱 Adrian, you style rebel you!!

I'm slowly starting to get into IWCs, used to overlook them as Flieger watches and Chronos are not "my type" of watch but these are really good looking!

Nice one, but the shiny crown and pushers, against a brushed case, seem they belong to another watch. A bit weird I think.

I’m a buddy of Asher’s so I’m biased but this IWC collab is perfect. I’ve applied and should be ordering one later today

I love the Top Gun IWC chronograph my only issue is the date window. I don't really like date complications on chronographs

Love that there are no numbers cut on the dial. Put it on a gray nato Adrian. I think it would be perfect too. What a lovely piece. Great review

lo the intro of this video is very funny, my dad used to have books like that for his cars

Superb video, Adrian! Thank you

Great looking watch!!!

The hands are gorgeous, beautiful watch

Nice watch. I like the blue version and the funky green now at more wearable sizing than previous although they still have the same wingspan so they wear large and chubby. Still, a cool masculine piece with a great movement view and quite affordable compared with others out there. They fly under the radar too so less chance of the wrong kind of attention when out and about. IWC are getting their act together and generally downsizing a bit like Breitling.

Nice looking watch I like the grey on the black dial. Thanks for sharing.

Smart and classy. Another great vid Adrian

I always look forward to your videos, Thankyou

I love this. My favourite ever IWC Pilot's Chron is the 371701, but this is close. IWC take note - this is back to basics and it rocks!

BIG improvement!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m not really into IWC, but I do like these kinds of collaborations.

that limited edition joke was hilarious

Gorgeous watch. Love the way those hands shine.... love my Speedy 1861 more though. Get it while it's cheap!

Love it! Great video!

Beautiful watch mate👍🏻

Love the Chrono, had on the amg iwc Event the green Version on my wrist. Like it. Quite a lot. Cheers mate, gorgeous B-Roll and review of an beautiful piece, like that monochrome look.

Ref. The beginning…..I have a similar problem with my Stealth, I can’t find it on the radar to do the oil change! Good review of the IWC Adrian.

My first guess on Instagram was a Tornado then I went for a Typhoon - should of stuck with my first guess 🤣Great video 👏

I really like it, though it feels like a very coordinated and timed marketing push so it’s hard to buy unseen. When there’s this much marketing, it’s easy to impulse buy something rather than fall in love, and I guess that’s the issue with all limited editions today. The market is so hot, you can’t view a $7000+ watch in person first, otherwise you won’t get it. All that said I’m happy they have events in certain cities and hope that helps people who live there to see it! Great video!

That is a beautiful watches You probably want to be able to buy one !! Be lovely to walk into a shop and get the watch you want ! Thank you Adrian for your videos

Hello from Chicago! Killer watch I’d definitely rock that!

Hi, nothing to with the watch but received my grey nato today. Beautiful. I’ve got to ask do you hand write the notes yourself. It’s a nice touch.

Thank you for covering this. Absolutely gorgeous and one of my favourites. Can you please make a video on seven Friday watches?

It’s a nice version for sure

I love this watch, but then I love the original too

Adrian you really need to buy a IWC, we can all hear it in your voice you love that brand!

Such a handsome watch. What is the lug to lug distance? Have seen the chrono 41mm being said to measure from 50mm to 52mm depending on who provides the info.

Is that correct that despite being rated for 100m WR, that pressing the chrono pushers while in water will allow water in? I always assumed that the WR rating accounted for that.

@ugabrew

2 жыл бұрын

@@philthyphil6662 I think you are right. I did some reading today and it sounds like WR rating generally does NOT cover the chrono operation. I guess that is why certain watches have screw down chrono pushers. You learn something new everyday.

looks very tasteful

Midweek B&J?! I’m into it! 😱❤️

Green dial for this one for sure:)

The oil deposit is between the high-pressure compressor and the combustor chamber, close to the fuel nozzle nut, pin & strator, I had to service mine last week 😎.

Great review and a spectactular IWC. I like it.

Very nice. Love the lower contrast with gray. NATO strap question: with such a particular thickness watch, would you be okay with a NATO strap on it, even if single-pass? I think from most angles it would look kick ass on a B&J grey NATO. But, looking down the flanks of the watch, do you think it would lift watch off wrist too much given its thickness? Or, would u be most inclined to keep this on a 2-piece strap of some sort?

Making a case bigger instead of smaller is never a progress and always a step into the wrong direction. Especially when it comes to watches.

I like it, though you could get a standard watch for a good bit less and get it modified by a good watchmaker. Perfect for wearing to the “Eclipse” nightclub...

My Seamaster is on a grey NATO and I agree, this IWC would also look awesome on it.

".....city of cogs.....", Brilliant!

Great intro 😄

have you seen the Mr Porter IWC big pilot colaboration? also very limited 100 pieces.

Stonking watch! Question: has anybody pushed chronograph pushers underwater and had water ingress into their “waterproof” watch?

@ugabrew

2 жыл бұрын

I had the same question. I always assumed the water resistance rating accounted for basic functions of the watch, including the chrono, but maybe that was a bad assumption.

I'm not normally much of an IWC fan but actually I do quite like this one.

The perfect chronograph… i love it.

Just love these videos! As to the watch - I like the exhibition case back and black rotor but otherwise not particularly enthused - though I like the fact they keep their branding off the watch face, that would put me off if I was interested in getting one.

That's the ghost of Florentine Ariosto Jones in there with you, Adrian 🤣😉

Beautiful watch I think they've done a cracking job with it and I love IWC watches. But do we have to join the collective I've heard that resistance is futile

Not keen on the aesthetics of this watch, but really enjoy the quality of your videos.

That looks really nice

ha. I have the new Seiko field watch and I see some similarities with the IWC. Both are thick, have brushed metal numerals. same brushed case, and the blackish grayish dial. Seiko didn't polish the bezel though.. That would have been nice.

Looks good but I prefer the standard blue dial. Checkout out their site and that El Primero looks very cool though

Please make a review of Oris 65, blue or green dial!

Very nice.

Personally I’ve just never got IWC but can appreciate what they do. Not sure why you would want to make what is meant to be, a legible watch, more difficult to read though? Was it just to try and do something different?

Really like this one 👏👏

I always loved this watch and was very excited with 41. Sadly, I found it too tick on the wrist. A mark 18 hit the sweet spot instead…

Stunning

My one interaction with The Collective left an indelible impression of elitism and snobbery ("we're tech guys in The Valley").

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Can I ask a stupid newbie question about chronos? In this video the large seconds hand is moving round the watch dial (like a normal three hander) but is this just because Adrian has set off the chrono function? Generally would the large seconds hand be static?
