Solid piece if you're into IWC's pilot aesthetic-the Big Pilot wears bigger than you'd expect but in a good way, feels planted on the wrist. Movement's reliable and the Le Petit Prince execution is tasteful without being over the top, though at this price point you're paying partly for the story. Not quite my Reverso, but I'd grab one if pilot watches were my thing.

The Big Pilot Le Petit Prince is a genuinely nice watch that wears lighter and more comfortable than you'd expect for its size, and the movement is bulletproof reliable. It's got that classic IWC tool-watch charm without feeling overdone, though at this price point you're definitely paying for the name and the limited edition story as much as the watch itself. Solid 8.7/10 - worth it if you love IWC's design language, but there are other pilots out there that punch harder for less cash.
