    Dear IWC fans,

    There is nothing better than a beautiful IWC watch, e.g. for me personally a
    BIG PILOT, which then differs on top from other BIG PILOT watches through
    special
    features.

    For example the "BIG DATE" variant, with the variants of dial colors and
    housing materials.

    These coveted watches were always limited, which is a particular pleasure for
    collectors! Knowing that there may only be 50/100/500 or 1,500 pieces of your
    own watch worldwide creates confidence in a certain stable value!

    If, however, limited watches like the BIG PILOTO MOJAVE appear with the 2021
    collection, of which 250 pieces are to be delivered per year, where is there a
    real limitation!

    After 10 years of sales it could be 2,500 pieces!

    How can I tell whether I have such a watch from the 1st series in 2021 or the
    3rd series in 2023?

    What is your opinion on this topic, please?

    Hi Henrik, interesting topic.

    I guess, without papers you will not know of it is one from 2021 or 2023, I
    didn't saw any markings on the back of the watch indicating the year.

    Even after 10 years, 2500 pieces are still rare. I often see other brands with
    limited editions of 10.000. And indeed x/250 or x/100 is really rare but still
    this is in my opinion a limited edition.

    I believe outside of having the serial number checked you may never know.

    I highly doubt IWC will follow the Panerai model and number their watches by
    series (Panerai uses a letter to signify a production year) AND limitation.
