IWC Ceratanium® Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team with teal green accents on the black dial.
As the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix is poised to take place November 16-18, IWC Schaffhausen, which partners with Mercedes-AMG and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team, introduces two new performance Pilot’s Watch Chronographs. Immediately distinctive, the two watches both boast a ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale, which allows the wearer to measure the average speed in relation to the distance travelled.
As the “Official Engineering Partner” of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team, IWC’s new chronographs include the titanium Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG and a striking Ceratanium® version, the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team with teal green accents on the black dial.
