Inspired by IWC's historic aviation instruments and named after its boutique on Los Angeles's famous Rodeo Drive, this special edition brings together two seemingly contrasting worlds: the utilitarian character of a pilot's watch and the mechanical sophistication of a perpetual calendar. Introduced in 2019, the Rodeo Drive edition pairs a striking blue dial with a substantial 46.5 mm black ceramic case. Behind its bold appearance lies a remarkably intricate mechanism capable of distinguishing between months of different lengths and accounting for leap years. It represents IWC's approach to complicated watchmaking: sophisticated engineering designed to remain practical and legible. table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\."; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";} tr {mso-height-source:auto;} col {mso-width-source:auto;} td {padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px; padding-left:1px; mso-ignore:padding; color:black; font-size:11.0pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; font-family:"Aptos Narrow", sans-serif; mso-font-charset:0; text-align:general; vertical-align:bottom; border:none; white-space:nowrap; mso-rotate:0;} .xl100 {text-align:left; border:.5pt solid black;} Reference IW503001 Collection Big Pilot's Watch Edition Rodeo Drive Introduced 2019 Case Black ceramic Diameter 46.5 mm Thickness 15.5 mm Dial Blue Movement Automatic, IWC manufacture Caliber 52616 Power reserve 168 hours / 7 days Frequency 28,800 vph Jewels 54 Complications Perpetual calendar, double moon phase, power reserve Crystal Convex sapphire Caseback Sapphire exhibition Water resistance Originally rated to 60 m Original strap Black calfskin
