What to know

The white-ceramic Big Pilot ProSet Le Petit Prince creates a strong contrast around its deep-blue gradient dial. White printed numerals and rhodium-plated luminous hands keep the indications readable without changing IWC’s familiar perpetual-calendar arrangement. A white rubber strap continues the case colour, while Little Prince details appear on the movement side.

Reference IW339601 measures 42.9 mm across and 14.3 mm thick. Calibre 82665 combines Pellaton automatic winding with a gear-based perpetual calendar that can be corrected in either direction through the crown. Its reserve is 60 hours. Convex anti-reflective sapphire, a display back and 10-bar water resistance complete the specification, with EasX-CHANGE enabling tool-free strap swaps.
