The highlight of this timepiece is the fully luminous white dial.

Within its Professional Pilot\u2019s Watches Program, which emerged from its partnership with the U.S. Navy, IWC develops highly specialized watches for the most discerning fast jet pilots. The Pilot\u2019s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces (Ref. IW326905) takes inspiration from a pilot\u2019s watch that IWC engineered for members of Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VFA-41), also known as the \u201cBlack Aces\u201d. The squadron is based at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California. Originally formed in 1950 at NAS Oceana, VFA-41 is attached to Carrier Air Wing 9 and uses the radio callsign \u201cFast Eagle\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A DIAL CAPABLE OF STORING LIGHT ENERGY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most striking feature of this timepiece is the fully luminous white Lumicast dial. Developed in collaboration with pilots from the \u201cBlack Aces\u201d, the dial is the result\u00a0of a complex manufacturing process. In the first step, high-grade Super-LumiNova\u00ae pigments are mixed with a binder, cast into a circular mold, and hardened in a specially developed curing process to give the material a ceramic-like durability. The resulting solid disc is then fixed onto the soft-iron dial blank. Finally, the dial is imprinted with black indices and numerals and the \u201cBlack Aces\u201d patch, resembling the ace of spades from a card deck. In dark chamber tests, the dial emitted a bright greenish light for more than 23 hours, taking legibility and night visibility to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>Super-LumiNova\u00ae is a high-tech ceramic compound that behaves like a light storage battery. Light energy absorbed from sunlight or artificial light causes the electrons in the material to enter a higher energy state, where this energy is stored. When the electrons return to their normal state, they emit the absorbed energy as visible light, making the material glow in the dark. The process of absorbing and releasing light energy can be repeated an infinite number of times without ever causing the material to age or diminishing its light storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HARD AND SCRATCH - RESISTANT CERAMIC CASE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The case of the Pilot\u2019s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces is made of black zirconium oxide ceramic, a material IWC pioneered in the watch industry as early as the 1980s. With a Vickers rating second only to that of diamonds, ceramic ranks among the hardest substances on Earth. Its lightness, hardness and scratch resistance make it the perfect case material for everyday use in the restricted space of a jet cockpit. Moreover, its stealthy matte-black color ensures pilots are not distracted by sunlight reflected from their watch. The case back is made of lightweight titanium and features an engraving of the \u201cBlack Aces\u201d twin-engine jet against a backdrop of spades.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot\u2019s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32100 caliber. Combined with the soft-iron inner case, the movement\u2019s anti-magnetic silicon escapement further improves the watch\u2019s resistance to magnetic fields. The efficient double pawl winding system builds up a power reserve of 72 hours in the mainspring. The watch is fitted with a black textile strap with a pin buckle in sand-blasted stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot\u2019s Watch Automatic 41 Black Aces is available exclusively online at IWC.com.
