Do you want to adapt your timepiece to a special occasion or match it to a different outfit? IWC’s vast range of quick-change systems allows you to exchange the strap or bracelet of your IWC watch.

IWC EasX-CHANGE® system

Quick and easy

IWC’s user-friendly EasX-CHANGE® system was introduced in 2021 on the Pilot’s Watch collection. It allows you to change the strap or bracelet of your timepiece quickly and easily at the touch of a button and without the use of any additional tools. The spring bar remains fixed to the watch, and the strap or bracelet snaps onto it on both sides.

The EasX-CHANGE® system is featured on many of IWC’s Pilot’s Watches, for example, on the Big Pilot’s Watch 43, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41, or the Pilot’s Watch Mark XX.

Versatile and practical

This quick-change system is commonly used in the Portofino collection. Each timepiece comes with a small tool. It lets you shift a small lever in the spring bar and remove the spring bar together with the strap or bracelet.

Currently, this quick-change system is featured on many Portofino models, such as the Portofino Automatic 34, the Portofino Automatic 37, or the Portofino Chronograph 39.
