IWC Chrono 41 Pilot unboxing, review, and comparison to Mark XX

[@scott7841]

I have this exact watch; and it's really nice. The dial is super legible (despite the chronograph). And the bracelet is one of the best in the business! I also love the sunburst blue dial. Thanks for posting the review.

Thanks for watching, this was a fun one to do. IWC does so great with blue dials.

I am an owner of this watch and absolutely love it. It is very legible and the blue dial color is georgious. Thank you for this review and also wanted to let you know I too am from NJ.

Thank you very much! Excellent choice. Where did you get yours?

It seems to me that IWC put a lot of efforts to improve the bracelet, buckle, & box (accessories), which I appreciate a lot!
As for the watch head, I'm not much into chronographs to start with, as it's not a feature I use often, and having the three subdials tends to make the dial look busy & less legible. Digital chronographs would be more practical, IMO.
If I have to have an analogue chronograph, I would prefer to have the subdials at 3, 6, & 9 o'clock positions (more symmetrical) and no date.

Sounds like you’d be a fan of the Speedmaster. These IWC Bracelets are next level.

@@DougFNJ X-33, or the Breitling Aerospace would suit me better, I think.

Does the bracelet taper at all?

[@DougFNJ]

Very slight taper
