Among the most exciting chronographs in IWC Schaffhausen’s portfolio are a series of pilot’s watches dedicated to its motorsport partners, namely Mercedes-AMG and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team. IWC Schaffhausen’s partnership with Mercedes-AMG and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is deeply rooted in performance. The collaboration with Mercedes-AMG began in 2004, aligning the precision and durability of IWC watches with the engineering excellence of Mercedes&#8217; performance cars. In 2013, IWC extended its motorsport influence by becoming the “Official Engineering Partner” of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.
The Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG models and the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team embody the spirit of this longstanding relationship. Showcasing cutting-edge materials and engineering, these watches are both stylish and high-performance, making them the perfect fit for motorsport enthusiasts and luxury watch collectors alike.
<h2>High-Performance 
</h2>
The new Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 watches include three distinctive models crafted from titanium and Ceratanium, IWC’s proprietary material.

The titanium models—the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG Ref. IW388305 along with the Ref. IW388304—stand out for their lightweight yet durable build. This material, often used in the automotive and aerospace industries, offers exceptional strength while being 45-percent lighter than steel. The result? Watches that are as robust as they are comfortable to wear. The brushed finish and polished accents give them a refined look, making these models versatile enough to wear from the track to the office.
“The Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 combines our extensive know-how in developing industry-leading chronographs with our comprehensive expertise in advanced materials,” says Christoph Grainger-Herr, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. “Both these new chronographs feature ceramic bezels with tachymeter scales, adding the dimension of speed to the highly accurate stop time measurements and making these robust chronographs the perfect companions for people with a dynamic, fast-paced lifestyle.”

The Ceratanium version—namely the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team (Ref. IW388306)—is equally impressive. Developed by IWC, Ceratanium combines the lightweight benefits of titanium with the hardness and scratch resistance of ceramic. The firing process during production gives the material its unique matte black finish, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic.
All three models feature a ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale—a nod to the motorsport theme—allowing the wearer to measure average speed over a given distance.
<h2>It&#8217;s All in the Details 
</h2>
The Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG models and the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team come with black dials that exude elegance and functionality. The glossy finish is contrasted by blackened nickel indices filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring excellent readability in all light conditions. The three recessed totalisers, polished individually before being mounted onto the lacquered base plate, add depth to the dial, highlighting IWC’s mastery in craftsmanship.
A standout feature across all of these models is the chronograph’s ease of use. The ceramic bezel, coupled with a tachymeter scale, allows the wearer to measure speed with the press of a button. Simply activate the chronograph when you start a journey and stop it after traveling a kilometer. The chronograph hand will then indicate the average speed in kilometers per hour.

Inside each of these watches beats the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre movement. Known for its robustness and precision, this automatic chronograph movement features a 46-hour power reserve and a column-wheel mechanism that enhances the tactile feedback when operating the chronograph buttons. The vertical subdial arrangement, with stopped minutes displayed at the 12 o’clock position, ensures ease of readability. The assembly process is divided into several precise steps, followed by rigorous testing over 12 days to ensure each watch meets IWC’s high standards.
The titanium models (Ref. IW388305/04) come with either a black rubber strap or a titanium bracelet with an integrated folding clasp. The rubber strap lends a sporty look, while the titanium bracelet offers a more refined option for those who prefer a metallic finish. The Ceratanium model (Ref. IW388306) features a matching black rubber strap with a Ceratanium pin buckle, completing its sleek, monochromatic design.
Like many of IWC’s timepieces, the Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 models are eligible for registration under the My IWC care program. This allows customers to extend their standard 2-year International Limited Warranty by an additional 6 years, ensuring long-term peace of mind for their investment.
