Watches from Switzerland are an Australian retailer of cheap replica watches made in 1997 and an official retailer for several brands. They were also the original distributor for IWC in Australia up until 2000 when Richemont acquired the brand. Therefore, they have teamed up with IWC to produce the IWC Pilots Chronograph Watches of Switzerland 20th Anniversary Limited Edition watch, just to celebrate its 20 years in business.
It is not the first time that Watches of Switzerland has teamed up with IWC to produce a unique limited edition watch. They did the same for their 10th anniversary too, which culminated in the Watches of Switzerland Limited Edition Portuguese Chronograph. It was popular thanks to its unique chocolate brown dial, and it helped that it was exclusive to Watches of Switzerland with only 25 pieces produced.
They wanted something close to their 20th anniversary, and they worked with IWC to create the model you see here. Recognizing the trend of vintage-inspired watches as well as the popularity of IWC’s Pilot’s watches in Australia, they made up their mind to combine the two to create the Watches of Switzerland 20th Anniversary IWC Pilots Chronograph watch. 
It is based on the popular IWC Pilots Chronograph watch. Case dimensions are identical, so it comes in a 43mm stainless steel case that measures 15mm thick. Prominent pushers and crowns help make operation easy. Water-resistance is also unchanged at 60m.
The dial has changed anyway. In place of the white hands and markings on this fake model, the Watches of Switzerland 20th Anniversary IWC Pilots Chronograph has patina-colored hands and markers instead. Along with a vintage-looking brown Santoni leather strap, this gives the Watches of Switzerland 20th Anniversary IWC Pilots Chronograph watch an aged look that so many watch lovers and collectors seem to like these days.
Otherwise, the layout and configuration haven’t changed. The main hour and minute hands are still centrally positioned, as is the chronograph seconds hand, and you still have the 30 and 12-hour chronograph registers at 12 and 6 o’clock respectively. At 9 o’clock, you still have the running seconds in white.
Inside, it is a robust, reliable self-winding chronograph movement that is based on the common Valjoux 7750. It beats at 4Hz and offers around 44 hours of power reserve. To commemorate this special fake watch, the Watches of Switzerland 20th Anniversary IWC Pilots Chronograph comes with a commemorative case back that shows the watch’s number in the limited edition series. The case back also has the Watches of Switzerland logo and a special design that celebrates its 20th anniversary.
This is a replica watch that I think a lot of IWC fans, especially those who are also fans of the current vintage-inspired watch trend, will enjoy. They haven’t messed about with the classic good looks of the model and whatever little changes there are have been tastefully implemented.
