A Bezel-Twist Is All It Takes to Switch Time Zones on IWC’s $12k Timezoner Chrono

At SIHH earlier this year, IWC unveiled its new Pilot’s Watch collection, a line full of vintage-inspired watches. And now one of the standouts of the collection—the Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph—is coming to stores.

The combined chronograph and world-time automatic timepiece is the first of its kind to allow its owner to set a new time zone, with a new time and date, with just a simple twist of the bezel.

The 45mm watch has a 68-hour power reserve and boasts a matte black dial with large hands and numerals and a chronograph that measures the time of events with two counters and a flyback function.

The Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph offers a couple of special technologies. One is IWC’s sprung rotating bezel concept that is also featured in the IWC’s Aquatimer timepieces and another is Vogard’s mechanical differential gearing technology.

IWC is asking $11,900 for the Timezoner Chronograph.
