As the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team gears up for the new season, IWC Schaffhausen launches a new team watch reinforcing its longstanding partnership with the team.
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team has a matte grey case crafted from lightweight and robust titanium. It features a black dial with details in Petronas green and a rubber strap in the same color.
Since 2013, IWC Schaffhausen has been the “Official Engineering Partner” of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team. With eight championships won between the 2014 and 2021 seasons, the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team holds the record for the most consecutive constructors’ titles.
As the team prepares for the 2025 season and welcomes new driver Kimi Antonelli as teammate to George Russell, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer presents a new watch dedicated to its longstanding partner.
In 2022, IWC released its first official team watch, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Edition Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team (Ref. IW388108), and in 2023, the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team (Ref. IW388306).
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team (Ref. IW328210) has a 40-millimetre case crafted from lightweight and remarkably rigid grade 5 titanium. Offering the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metal, titanium is also used in automotive engineering to produce car parts subjected to immense stress, such as engine valves. After machining and sandblasting, the surface retains an attractive greyish shimmer. Printed numerals and indices in the team’s signature Petronas green set contrast to the black dial. The hands for the hours, minutes and seconds are coated with Super-LumiNova® of the same color.
The case back is engraved with small hexagons as well as “Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team”. Inside the case is the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, an automatic movement with a power reserve of 120 hours. Water-resistant to 10 bar, this watch is fitted with a Petronas green rubber strap featuring the EasX-CHANGE® strap change system. The Pilot’s Watch Mark XX Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team will be worn trackside by team members including mechanics, engineers and race strategists during the 2025 season.
