Collectors target this reference for its 46.2mm Grade 5 titanium case, which offers a lighter alternative to the traditional steel Big Pilot while maintaining the historical oversized aesthetic. It features a black dial with high-contrast beige luminescence designed to mimic the radium patina of the 1940s 52 T.S.C. military observers. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured caliber 52110, an automatic movement featuring a Pellaton winding system and a seven-day power reserve displayed at 3 o'clock. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $8,500 and $11,000 depending on condition and completeness. A notable production detail is the inclusion of a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields, adhering to original pilot specifications."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 4, "median":
