The IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Top Gun “Lake Tahoe” (ref. IW503008) blends the technical rigour of IWC’s pilot line with bold contemporary design. Its striking white ceramic case earns its nickname from the snow-draped landscapes around Lake Tahoe – a seasonal nod balanced by the deep matte black dial. First seen on the wrist of Lewis Hamilton, this reference has gained notable visibility both on and off the track.

Measuring 46mm in diameter, the lightweight white ceramic case is paired with a titanium crown and caseback, providing strength without excessive heft. The black dial hosts a full perpetual calendar – including moonphase, day, date, month, and year displays – all driven by IWC’s in-house calibre 52615. The self-winding movement features a robust 7-day power reserve via twin barrels and is visible through a tinted sapphire caseback. Water-resistance is rated to 60m.

Part of IWC’s performance-driven Top Gun collection, the IW503008 bridges military inspiration with high-complication watchmaking. Its rare ceramic construction, perpetual functionality, and bold visual contrast give it standout appeal in the pilot’s watch canon.
