IWC · Family: Pilot's Watch Chronograph
The IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 IW388101 is the 41mm steel, blue-dial version of the house's aviator chronograph, powered by the in-house Calibre 69385 with 46 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference yet (n=0). Its standout detail: it uses the EasX-CHANGE system, letting the strap be swapped tool-free — unusual for a chronograph in this category.

IWC has been building aviator's watches since the 1936 Spezialuhr für Flieger, and the chronograph within that family — the Pilot's Watch Chronograph — is one of the Schaffhausen brand's most commercially enduring variants, backed by historical ties to aviation figures like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and, more recently, the Spitfire squadron.
The current 41mm generation runs the in-house Calibre 69385, an automatic column-wheel chronograph — a construction traditionally associated with a smoother pusher feel — delivering roughly 46 hours of power reserve inside a steel case with a sapphire crystal domed on both sides.
An unusual feature for this watch category is the EasX-CHANGE system, which lets the wearer swap the strap without tools by pressing a button integrated into the lugs, with options spanning calfskin, rubber, or a steel bracelet depending on the execution.
Within Cazador's catalog, this reference stands apart from the other four IWC entries already covered — Pilot's Watch Mark XX, Big Pilot's Watch, Portugieser Chronograph, and Ingenieur — as the dedicated chronograph variant of the Pilot's Watch line, distinct from both the three-hand Mark XX and the dressier Portugieser Chronograph.

Yes, to 10 bar (100 meters) — enough for swimming and daily wear, though it isn't built as a dive tool.
Both are IWC chronographs, but the Portugieser belongs to the house's dress line, with a slim case and soldered lugs, while the Pilot's Watch Chronograph grows out of Schaffhausen's aviation tradition.
