As the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team enters the 2025 season with renewed vigour, IWC Schaffhausen unveils a new timepiece to celebrate its enduring partnership with the team. The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team (Ref. IW328210) embodies the perfect blend of motorsport engineering and fine watchmaking.
A Design That Speaks Motorsport
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX features a 40-millimetre case crafted from grade 5 titanium, renowned for its exceptional strength-to-density ratio. This lightweight yet durable material, often used in high-performance car parts like engine valves, is engineered to withstand extreme stress. The case, finished with a sandblasting process, boasts a subtle grey shimmer that complements the black dial.
Key design elements include printed numerals and indices in Petronas green, the signature colour of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team. The hour, minute, and second hands are also coated with Super-LumiNova® in the same green hue, ensuring optimal readability in low-light conditions.
Engineered for Precision and Performance
Inside the titanium case beats the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, a high-performance automatic movement. With an impressive 120-hour power reserve, this movement ensures reliability over extended periods. The watch is also water-resistant up to 10 bar, making it robust enough to withstand the demands of trackside environments.
A Strap that Adapts to You
Adding to its practicality, the watch comes with a Petronas green rubber strap equipped with IWC’s EasX-CHANGE strap change system, allowing wearers to effortlessly swap straps for different looks or occasions.
A Legacy of Collaboration
Since becoming the Official Engineering Partner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team in 2013, IWC Schaffhausen has shared its dedication to precision, innovation, and performance. The team’s record-breaking eight consecutive constructors’ championships (2014–2021) exemplify these values. The introduction of this timepiece marks another milestone in a partnership that bridges motorsport and haute horology.
This is not the first time IWC has celebrated its association with the team. In 2022, the brand launched the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Edition “Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team” (Ref. IW388108), followed by the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 (Ref. IW388306) in 2023. The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX continues this legacy, dedicated to the mechanics, engineers, and strategists who make motorsport history trackside.
