PILOT PERFORMANCE CHRONO 41MM

The IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 is the first model in the Performance Chronograph line crafted in high-end precious metal. The case, crown, and pushers in 18-carat 5N rose gold are paired with a deep black lacquered dial featuring gold-plated appliques and hands. This luxury watch dial, finished with a high-gloss lacquer, is the result of a meticulously engineered Swiss production process. The chronograph subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock are individually finished and printed to reflect exceptional craftsmanship.

The appliques for the indices, numerals, and the signature triangle at 12 o’clock are hand-polished, applied to the dial, and filled with Super-LumiNova® for enhanced night visibility. A functional highlight is the black ceramic bezel with tachymeter scale, which, combined with the chronograph, allows for accurate average speed calculation over a 1-kilometer reference distance – perfect for motorsport or aviation-inspired performance tracking.

Powering this timepiece is the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre, visible through the smoked sapphire glass case back. This mechanical chronograph movement with column-wheel design is built with an uncompromising commitment to precision, durability, and performance. Capable of measuring elapsed time up to 12 hours, it features IWC’s iconic vertical subdial layout: hours at 9 o’clock, and chronograph minutes directly at 12 o’clock for effortless readability.

The bidirectional pawl-winding system reliably builds up a 46-hour power reserve. The watch is completed with a sporty black rubber strap and the EasX-CHANGE® quick strap replacement system, enabling effortless transitions between straps for different looks and occasions.
