Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw388111 Pilots Watch Chronograph for its compelling in-person presence and eye-catching teal dial, with some considering it the best pilot watch available and a better value when purchased grey. One owner found its robustness and 100m water resistance superior to alternatives. Reviewers highlight its balanced, legible dial design and the new in-house 69385 automatic movement. Some owners note the seconds subdial appears incorrect due to the movement, and one found the unscrewed crown an unusual design choice. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw388111 Pilots Watch Chronograph highly for its unique teal dial and overall execution at its price point.
