For decades, the guttural roar of a Formula 1 engine and the ticking of a meticulously crafted timepiece have been inextricably linked, and IWC Schaffhausen watches have been at the forefront of this deep connection. The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph is one corner of the manufacture’s catalogue where high-octane enthusiasts can find a slice of grade-A performance engineering in the form of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Edition “Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team”. From its rigid yet ultra-light titanium bodywork to its striking black dial injected with the colours of the Formula 1 team’s livery, this IWC Pilot’s Watch pays homage to the brand’s role as a sponsor to the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, celebrating a collaboration that goes far beyond a mere logo on a dial.

The Pilot's Watch Edition "Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team" marks a partnership that has flourished since 2013, delivering a suite of performance-oriented features that make it perfect for moments behind the wheel or at the side of the racetrack. Aside from the dial’s striking black and Petronas-green colourway – a decisive nod to the successful F1 team - the watch features a state-of-the-art column wheel movement. The in-house manufactured Calibre 69385 ensures smooth and precise operation, boasting an autonomy of 46 hours, and features traditional decorative finishes showcased through a sapphire exhibition caseback. The 41mm Pilot's Watch Edition "Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team” is also equipped with IWC’s innovative Quick-Change strap, incorporating the brand’s EasX-CHANGE technology for quick strap changes on the fly. It comes fitted with a Petronas-green rubber strap to underscore a resolutely sporty, racing-ready look.
