IWC Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive: The Crown-Free Space Watch Certified for Human Spaceflight
Titanium
IWC Schaffhausen unveils the Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive at W&W 2026 — a 44.3mm ceramic and Ceratanium watch that eliminates the crown entirely, replacing it with a rotating bezel and patent-pending rocker switch for all functions. Developed with space habitation company Vast and certified for human spaceflight, its in-house Calibre 32722 delivers 120 hours of power reserve.
