At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, IWC Schaffhausen takes its legacy of aviation timepieces to new heights with the launch of the latest addition to its Pilot’s Watch collection. Known for their robust performance and precision, the new model blends classic aeronautical design with cutting-edge watchmaking technology. Featuring an upgraded movement, enhanced materials, and a refined aesthetic, this timepiece embodies IWC’s commitment to innovation while staying true to the brand’s rich aviation heritage.
Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41
Features an 18-carat 5N gold case with sapphire case back, black lacquered dial and a black ceramic tachymeter bezel. It will be worn on the wrist of Damson Idris’ character Joshua Pearce. The case, pushers, and crown crafted from 18-carat 5N gold are combined with gold-plated appliques and gold-plated hands filled with white Super-LumiNova®.
The black dial with a lacquer finish is the result of a highly engineered production process, with the totalisers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock being individually finished and printed. Polished by hand, the gold-plated appliques for the indices, numerals and characteristic triangle at 12 o’clock are fixed to the dial and filled with Super-LumiNova®. The Performance Chronograph 41 is fitted with a black rubber strap with integrated EasX-CHANGE® strap change system.
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph APXGP
Features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 43 millimetres, while the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 APXGP (Ref. IW388116) is housed in a 41-millimetre stainless steel case. Both chronographs are dedicated to the “APXGP” team in the movie and feature a design with black, gold, and white elements. The stainless steel cases are combined with black dials, which are printed with white numerals and golden minute markers. The minute and hour hands, as well as the hands in the subdials, are gold-plated and filled with white Super-LumiNova®.
Both chronographs are equipped with tinted sapphire case backs, featuring the “APXGP” team logo printed in gold. Water-resistant to 10 bar, these chronographs are fitted with black rubber straps featuring a special laser engraving to commemorate the “APXGP” team. The durable and waterproof straps feature IWC’s EasX-CHANGE® system, enabling the wearer to change them at the touch of a button without any tools.
Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL
This marks the first time that IWC uses its patented SPRIN-g PROTECT® shock absorber system to protect a tourbillon against shocks. The cantilever spring was completely re-designed and adapted to accommodate the IWC-manufactured 82915 calibre with a flying minute tourbillon.
To reduce the mass of the movement and maximise the system’s performance, the plates, bridges, and rotor are skeletonised—also offering a better view of the complicated mechanics and the bulk metallic glass (BMG) shock absorber spring inside. This highly complex watch, designed with technical precision, features a Ceratanium® case and crown. It is fitted with a black patterned rubber strap with a Ceratanium® pin buckle.
