IWC big pilot vs Zenith Pilot, which one is better?

Given the price difference, one would think Zenith is lower quality.
IWC has a 7 day power reserve plus date! Zenith not at par in terms of that. Value wise, Zenith is half the price.

I am looking at the bronze model.

Which one is better quality though? Or let's say what's the reason for IWC's higher premium?

Only you can decide if the IWC is worth the premium. I’d say both watches are on par finish wise... I’d go so far as to say the Big Pilot is the flagship model of IWC’s range so you’re certainly paying a premium for that.

Try both on and I’m sure one will sing louder :)
