Information

Meet the IWC Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive—a watch that doesn’t just push boundaries, it completely redefines them.
Inspired by the future of space exploration, the Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive is the very first mechanical tool watch specifically engineered for human spaceflight. Developed in partnership with aerospace company Vast, every detail has been designed to perform in the demanding environment of space.
The first thing you’ll notice is what’s missing—the traditional crown. Instead, IWC has introduced its revolutionary Vertical Drive system. Using the rotating bezel together with an innovative side-mounted selector, you can wind the movement, adjust mission time, or set your home time with incredible precision. It’s a completely new way of interacting with a mechanical watch.
Built from ultra-light white zirconium oxide ceramic with a Ceratanium® bezel and caseback, this watch is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments. Inside beats the IWC-manufactured Calibre 32722, delivering a remarkable 120-hour power reserve and displaying both mission time on a 24-hour scale and home time simultaneously—making it equally practical on Earth or beyond.
This isn’t simply another Pilot’s Watch. It’s a statement of innovation, engineering excellence, and IWC’s vision for the future of mechanical watchmaking. Whether you’re an avid collector or someone searching for the next iconic modern timepiece, the IWC Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive represents one of the most exciting releases in contemporary horology.
If you’d like to experience one of the most technically advanced watches IWC has ever produced, get in touch today and discover why the Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive is destined to become a future collector’s piece.

Outstanding service from start to finish. I spotted the watch I had been searching for at around 9pm, and by the next day I had all the information and detailed insights I needed. The watch was invoiced immediately and delivered by 8am the following morning. The entire process was seamless, professional, and incredibly efficient. I’m truly grateful to have received such a clean, beautiful collector’s piece. Highly recommended!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Kevin for taking the time.
