What distinguishes it

Look beyond the reference.

The day-date adds everyday information to elapsed-time measurement. Its bidirectional pawl winding system replenishes a 46-hour reserve, while the column wheel coordinates chronograph switching.

For the enthusiast

Do not confuse a model’s case height with movement height. The cited Pilot’s Watch reference confirms this calibre; other generations of IWC pilot chronographs use different movement families.
