In 2019, George Russell debuted in Formula One™. After joining the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team in 2022, the Briton instantly claimed pole at the Hungarian Grand Prix™ and seven podiums within his first 20 races. Russell has since secured five Grand Prix victories for the team, with his latest win at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix. The acclaimed racing driver has now collaborated with IWC’s creative team to design two limited-edition Pilot’s Watches, bringing his creative vision to the brand.

Throughout his whole career, the colour blue has had a significant meaning for Russell. After initially racing for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team with a black helmet, he soon reverted to the blue-dominant design that has long served as the foundation of his racing brand. Standing apart on the Formula 1™ grid, the colour blue is uniquely associated with Russell and emblematic of the duality he brings as a driver: calm under pressure, yet fiercely competitive. This unique shade, which is also present in Russell’s current helmet design, is at the core of these special editions: both feature dial details and rubber straps in Russell’s signature blue colour.

The Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 George Russell (Ref. IW328107), Limited to 1063 pieces, is housed in a 41-millimetre case made from black zirconium oxide ceramic, with its crown made from Ceratanium®. Similar to the chronograph, the model displays indices, numerals and Super-LumiNova® in the signature blue shade associated with George Russell. It is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32112 calibre, which includes a double-pawl winding system that provides a power reserve of 120 hours. Both watches feature titanium case backs with distinct engravings, including George Russell’s name and 63, the
starting number the driver has raced with since he was a child winning karting championships all the way through to Formula One. The chronograph and automatic models are fitted with blue rubber straps in the same signature blue hue found on the dial, complete with Ceratanium® pin buckles. Thanks to the integrated EasX-CHANGE® system, these straps can be exchanged quickly and easily without any tools.
