Testing the IWC EasX-CHANGE straps - let the FUN begin

As the popularity of rubber straps becomes ever more apparent, and to aid in providing the best personal touch to their wearer’s watches, IWC is introducing a slew of options for the members of their Pilot’s range. Over the last 18 months the brand has updated the water resistance of their core Pilots range to 10 bar, and while most pieces within the Pilot’s range are available on a swimming-ready, stainless-steel bracelet, the traditional and iconic calf skin leather straps aren’t recommended to feature highly at your next pool party. The new range of EasX-CHANGE rubber straps allows for that easy transition from land to water.

Love that strap attachment system. Should become standard on mid-tier Swiss imho.

Love the orange on it. My AD just called me that my Red rubber strap came in 🔥

I love my Mark XX Fleiger so much I now have 5 additional easx straps - 3 rubber and two leather total 6 strap options :) This Fleiger is my daily driver so I can easily say this is such a fun timepiece to own.

These straps surely bring spices to the pilot lines. I hope they'll be a match for my Spitfire Chrono too.

I’m guessing that this can be used on other watches too

Just Bought an IWC spitfire grey dial a watch Ive wanted for ten years

Awesome! I might just get a Mark XX so I can play with those straps.

The straps are nice and convenient however the pricing is totally insane. It’s priced the same as the leather strap. I can understand a leather strap being priced at €300, but to have the rubber straps be at €300 euros too is insane. I went to the boutique to buy a leather strap but hard passed on the rubber when I saw the price. These are priced without the pin buckle too.

So I can use a deployment clasp on the 20 mm straps?

I can`t find a shop for this straps (IWC Mark XX) ..

I hope I don't have to swap buckle each time I want to swap straps.

They need to make a version with Bronze/ PVD rivets..

Interesting - glad to see IWC get in the rubber strap game. To confirm, 20mm and 21mm available? Price point either in Aus or US dollars? Thanks. ⌚👍

the Big pilot is my all time favorite and Portugueser as number 2

[therascals]

I noticed he didn’t try on any of the straps with the green dial 😭

[markbyrum]

Wonder if these straps will work on other "fixed lug" watches?

I love IWC more than any swiss brand !!

[Peter-tywp]

Little mistake. There is no 41 mm „Big“ Pilot Chrono at 02:49 Min.

These rubber straps are IMPOSSIBLE to get

IWC rubber straps are stiff, like their calf leather ones, no comfy
