What to know

IWC has announced the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Year of the Goat, reference IW388310, ahead of the 2027 lunar new year. Limited to 500 pieces, it combines a titanium case and black ceramic bezel with a gold-coloured dial and contrasting black chronograph counters.

The automatic calibre 69385 provides a 46-hour power reserve. Its gold-plated winding rotor depicts three goats, visible through the sapphire back. Another detail appears in the calendar: the Chinese character for goat replaces the number eight on the eighth day of each month. A black calfskin strap uses IWC’s tool-free EasX-CHANGE attachment system.
