IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team

IWC has been the official design partner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team since 2013. This year marks the tenth anniversary of their partnership. As racing elites gather in Florida to celebrate the opening of the second Miami Grand Prix, IWC unveils the Pilot's Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team Special Edition with a "Miami Pink" rubber strap. This chronograph is IWC's first official team watch created for a partner, paying tribute to the team's designers, aerodynamicists, racing engineers, strategists, and mechanics—a testament to their vibrant passion and unwavering dedication. The lively pink strap complements the Miami International Autodrome, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell also sporting striking pink accents on their gloves and shoes. Furthermore, other team members will also wear the pink-strap version of the team watch during the Miami Grand Prix. 

The Pilot's Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Special Edition made its debut at the first Miami Grand Prix, crafted from robust and durable Grade 5 titanium. In the 1980s, IWC pioneered the use of titanium in watchmaking, creating the first timepiece with a titanium case and bracelet. As the metal with the highest strength-to-density ratio, titanium is approximately 45% lighter than stainless steel. Beyond watchmaking, titanium is widely used in automotive design, for manufacturing robust and stain-resistant components such as engine valves.

Furthermore, titanium is corrosion-resistant and skin-friendly. The watch features a black dial with the team's signature green hour markers and luminous elements, its overall design reflecting the team's powerful presence. Powered by the IWC in-house Calibre 69385, this 242-part movement features a classic column-wheel design and a bidirectional pawl winding system, providing a 46-hour power reserve. The movement's engineering beauty can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case back. The Pilot's Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Special Edition (model IW388108) now features a new black calfskin strap and will continue to be available online. A new watch with a "Miami Pink" rubber strap (model IW388114) will also be available with a green strap. All straps are equipped with the EasyX-CHANGE quick-change system, allowing for easy strap changes without additional tools.
