The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 reference IW388101 represents the more wearable
execution of the Schaffhausen manufacture’s modern Pilot Chronograph collection,
released in 2021 as a downsized companion to the long-running 43mm IW3777 line. 
The 41mm stainless steel case retains the cockpit-instrument aesthetic that has 
defined IWC pilot watches since the Mark XI of 1948, finished here in brushed and
polished surfaces with a screw-down crown and a convex antireflective sapphire crystal.
The blue dial features applied Arabic numerals, a triangular index at twelve flanked
by lume dots, snowflake-tipped hands, and a bicompax chronograph layout with running
seconds at nine and 30-minute counter at twelve. Day and date appear at the three
o’clock position. Powered by the in-house IWC Caliber 69385, a column-wheel chronograph
manufactured entirely within Schaffhausen, comprising 231 components, 33 jewels,
beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 46-hour power reserve. Water resistant
to 100 meters, the watch is fitted on a blue calfskin strap with a stainless steel
pin buckle. Reference IW388101 sits as the contemporary entry point into IWC’s in-
house chronograph manufacture. Pre-owned condition.
