Hands On: The IWC Big Pilot Watch Shock absorber XPL 44mm Replica In 2021 Watches and Miracles, IWC launched the IWC Big Pilot watch shock absorber XPL 44mm replica IW357201 . The first model created by the brand's "experimental engineering team" is entirely to resist extreme shocks...because it can withstand more than 30,000G shocks! This is not just a concept, because it will be available in a (very) limited production volume. Details Housed in a 44mm Ceratanium case – the brand’s high-tech titanium and ceramic compound, combining the advantages of ceramic (scratch-resistant) and titanium (lightweight) – this development is based on a patented SPRIN-g PROTECT system that shields the movement from impacts. If this is not the first example of a spring-mounted movement, the performances communicated by IWC and verified by the Cavendish Laboratory and the University of Cambridge are truly impressive, with a shock resistance in excess of 30,000G! The watch crystal is secure...
