Jewellery RANZI Bolzano | IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41

R.IW389410

Ø 41.90 mm

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Le Petit Prince combines the distinctive world of IWC pilot’s watches with the timeless story of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince. It is the first “Le Petit Prince” edition from IWC to feature a white ceramic case, giving this special series a particularly distinctive character.

The 41.9-millimetre case is crafted from white zirconium oxide ceramic, a lightweight and scratch-resistant material with a smooth, velvety surface. Its bright finish creates a striking contrast with the deep blue dial, which features a sunburst finish and subtle gradient. The dial evokes the vastness of space, a recurring element of IWC’s Le Petit Prince editions. Crisp white numerals and indices are complemented by rhodium-plated hands filled with Super-LumiNova®, combining the watch’s distinctive aesthetic with excellent legibility.

The connection to Saint-Exupéry’s celebrated story is particularly evident on the titanium case back, which is engraved with a detailed depiction of the Little Prince. This discreet yet distinctive detail brings the literary inspiration of the timepiece to life while preserving the functional character of the Pilot’s Watch collection.

The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69381 calibre, a mechanical chronograph movement featuring a classic column-wheel design. It enables precise measurement of elapsed times of up to 12 hours and provides a 46-hour power reserve. The characteristic IWC dial layout places the hour and minute totalizers vertically at 9 and 12 o’clock. A convex sapphire crystal with antireflective coating on both sides, a soft-iron inner case for magnetic-field protection and water resistance to 10 bar complete the technical profile. The white rubber strap can be exchanged quickly using IWC’s EasX-CHANGE® system.
