To ensure that your watch stays properly water-resistant, you should have it checked by an IWC service
centre at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to un usually harsh condi-
tions. If the tests are not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by un authorized persons,
IWC will accept no warranty or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must carry out a water-resistance test when-
ever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.
If your watch has a strap made of leather, textile or rubber with a leather or textile inlay, make sure that
the high-quality strap does not come into contact with water, oily substances, solvents, cleaning agents
or cosmetic products. This way you can prevent discoloration and premature ageing of the material.
The patina which develops over time protects the metal. It is caused by oxidation, and is similar to the
tarnish which can be seen on items made of silver. The environment to which the metal is exposed
and how often it is used affects how quickly the metal darkens. This is a natural process influenced
by skin contact, humidity, exposure to the elements, etc.

NOTE
– The surface will not darken uniformly; darker areas and blemishes may develop.
– Bronze is a traditional material which is not as resistant to corrosion as those often used in the
watchmaking industry such as stainless steel, titanium, gold and platinum.
– Skin contact will cause bronze to develop a typical metallic odour when worn (similar to that of
coins).
SERVICING YOUR
BIG PILOT'S WATCH RIGHT HANDER
Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality materials, a number of compo-
nents are subject to natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure that the points at
which wear occurs are always well lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly
removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced approximately every
5 years. Please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent.
