Unveiled at Watches & Wonders digital exhibition 2021, the new IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 features a stainless steel case in a compact size of 41 mm and is available with a blue or green dial.

To underscore the brand’s expertise in the development of in-house movements, it is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre, which is visible through a sapphire glass back. With the new EasX-CHANGE system and a choice of straps made of calfskin, rubber or stainless steel, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 is the ultimate sports watch.

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 is available in four references:

• Ref. IW388101: Stainless steel case, blue dial, rhodium-plated hands, blue calfskin strap.
• Ref. IW388102: Stainless steel case, blue dial, rhodium-plated hands, stainless steel bracelet.
• Ref. IW388103: Stainless steel case, green dial, rhodium-plated hands, brown calfskin strap.
• Ref. IW388104: Stainless steel case, green dial, rhodium-plated hands, stainless steel bracelet.

All new models feature a EasX-CHANGE system, which allows the wearer to quickly and easily change the strap or bracelet.

Available as accessories in IWC boutiques or online on IWC.com is a choice of calfskin and rubber straps in attractive colours, as well as a new stainless steel bracelet with fine adjustment system and a slimmer shape for improved comfort and ergonomics. The reworked case construction ensures the chronographs are now water-resistant to 10 bar.

Ensuring a precise measurement of stop times up to 12 hours is the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre. The mechanical chronograph movement consists of 231 individual parts and is engineered with a focus on robustness, reliability and precision.

The stopwatch function is controlled by a column wheel, a complex component with two functional levels which is incredibly challenging to manufacture. A bi-directional pawl winding system supplies the movement with energy by efficiently converting the activity of the wearer’s arm into tension for the mainspring. It builds up a power reserve of 46 hours when fully wound.
