The 41mm case, at just 13mm thick, sits nicely under a cuff—ideal for office-to-dinner transitions.

This in-house style movement mimics the original's functions, including the chronograph and date, giving you that authentic feel every time you press the pushers. The upgraded buckle design adds comfort—no pinching, just a smooth closure that stays put.

The proportions have been tweaked multiple times to match the genuine, so it hugs your wrist like it was made for you. Whether you're a collector or just starting your journey, the IW371615 delivers that fresh, handsome look that IWC is known for.
