IWC Pilot's WatchesModel No: IW388113

IWC has been making watches for aviators since 1936, and the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 carries that brief into a 41.1mm case that wears at 51.8mm lug-to-lug, a dimension IWC chose specifically for wearability across a wider range of wrists than the larger pilot's references allow. The stainless steel case measures 14.5mm thick with brushed and polished accents, a screw-in crown and pump-style chronograph pushers. Sapphire crystal covers both sides, and water resistance holds to 100 metres.

The matte black dial carries the instrument aesthetic directly: rhodium-plated hands with luminous fill, luminous indexes at three, six, nine and 12 o'clock with Arabic numerals for immediate orientation, and three subdials in the classic layout. A 30-minute counter and 12-hour counter handle the chronograph registers; small seconds sits with a hacking function for precise setting; day and date complete the practical function set. Calibre 69385 runs the watch, IWC's own manufacture movement with a classic column-wheel chronograph mechanism across 33 jewels and 231 components. The column wheel provides a smooth, tactile action on the pushers that distinguishes it from cam-operated alternatives. Power reserve holds to 46 hours; the movement is finished with Côtes de Genève and perlage visible through the sapphire caseback.

The five-link stainless steel bracelet uses IWC's patented EasX-CHANGE system for tool-free strap swapping, closing with a micro-adjustment folding clasp. The tapered bracelet shape and fine finishing distinguish it from the instrument-focused bracelet alternatives across the pilot's watch market.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos. Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card. A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements. We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
