What's the hottest, most recent release for 2020? IWC Big Pilot Replica's Overseas Permanent Calendar Ultra-Thin is the winner. Because I am limited to 800 characters for this article's introduction, I will replace the long name of my watch with "Baby". Why is Baby cool? She's cool in many ways.
Let's start with movement. The 222, Baby's predecessor was released in 1977, to compete in the integrated bracelet sports chic arena. Audemars Piguet launched the 5402ST Royal Oak in 1972, and Patek Phillipe introduced the Nautilus 3700/1A in 1976.
The 222, like the other watches, exudes a dynamic tension that is both strong and attractive. Its barrel-shaped, notched bezel and Jorg Hysek's design, combined with its lithe and svelte silhouette,Replica Watches create a powerful and pleasing presence on the wrist. Its thinness was thanks to the use of the 2.45mm-thick caliber 1121, which is the same base as the Jaeger-LeCoultre-designed caliber 920 that powered both the Patek and the AP, featuring a distinct recessed rotor that rode on a metal frame and ruby rollers.
In '96, when the Dino Modolo-designed Overseas replaced the 222, a Girard-Perregaux-based 1310 movement replaced the 1121 resulting in a thicker watch. The original caliber 1121, however, has a special spot in the hearts of watch enthusiasts as it is one of the most iconic movements of all time.
The caliber 1120 was reunited with the Overseas in 2016,Richard Mille Replica Watches when a new update revealed the dynamic tension of bold, sculptural looks, offset by a delightfully slim profile. This is evident in both the Overseas Ultra Thin and the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin, both using the amazing movement.
