IWC · Family: Pilot's Watch
The IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph (ref. IW395001) combines a flyback chronograph with a patented time-zone-change mechanism activated with a single gesture on the rotating bezel. As of August 2026, Cazador has 0 verified price observations. Its differential trait: pressing, turning, and releasing the bezel simultaneously changes the local time, date, and day/night indicator, without affecting the rest of the movement.

At the SIHH in January 2016, IWC completely renewed its Pilot's Watch collection, with novelties ranging from vintage-inspired editions to the classic Big Pilot's Watch. Within that renewal, the Schaffhausen manufacture introduced an entirely new model: the Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph, which combined a flyback chronograph with a one-gesture world-time mechanism for the first time.
The Timezoner system lets you change the local time zone by pressing the rotating bezel down, turning it to the desired city, and releasing it. That motion simultaneously advances the white hour hand, the date, and the red-and-black 24-hour hand that shows whether it's day or night in that zone, without touching the crown or affecting the rest of the movement. The concept of a spring-loaded bezel that only rotates when pressed was first used on the Porsche Design Ocean 2000 in the 1980s, and IWC adapted it by connecting it directly to the movement's gear train.
The chronograph relies on Caliber 89760, an automatic column-wheel movement with a flyback function, derived from the classic chronograph architecture IWC already used in its Portugieser line. It delivers 68 hours of power reserve and beats at 4Hz. The flyback function allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single press, without needing to stop it first — especially useful for a pilot running consecutive timings.
The 45mm steel case, 16.5mm thick — large even by Pilot's Watch standards — houses all this mechanics beneath a matte black dial with large Arabic numerals and luminous propeller-style hands. The closed case back is engraved with a Junkers Ju 52 airplane, a nod to the aeronautical heritage that gives IWC's entire Pilot's Watch collection its name.

You press the rotating bezel down, turn it to the destination city, and release it. That gesture changes the local time, date, and day/night indicator all at once, without touching the crown.
It marks cities that observe summer time, like London or New York, to help correctly set the local time in those zones.
It's a function that lets you reset and restart the chronograph with a single press of the button, without needing to stop it and zero it out separately.
