The cooperation between IWC and Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport (hereinafter referred to as AMG) began in 2004 and has launched a number of special edition watches. The Replica IWC Pilot Performance Chronograph 41mm AMG special edition is available in titanium (model IW388304) and Ceratanium (model IW388306). The “high performance” emphasized in the name of this product refers to Ceratanium. More replica IWC Pilot watches.
The ceramic tachymeter ring is the biggest breakthrough in the appearance of this watch. The ceramic ring covers the titanium bezel and is marked with the speed. It makes full use of the existing space and improves the information density of the watch. In contrast, previous IWC pilot chronographs were presented in the form of “aperture”, and the tachymeter ring is the first for the series. In addition, as a joint model with the AMG team, it can measure the speed from a maximum of 300KM/H to a minimum of 65KM/H, which is consistent with the driving speed of the racing car.
The back of replica IWC Pilot Performance Chronograph 41mm AMG is transparent, and the sapphire caseback is printed with the AMG team logo and watch-related information. Through the mirror, you can see the Cal.69385 chronograph movement on the watch. This is the week-calendar model of the IWC 69000 series movement. The series features the second hand dial at 6 o’clock (9 o’clock for the 7750 series), the rotor can be wound in both directions (unidirectional for the 7750 series), and the power reserve is 46 hours.
Looking back at the development history of AMG special editions, it is not difficult to find that most of the previous products are the continuation of existing designs, and they use special colors (Petronas Green) or decorative details (carbon fiber texture) to highlight the co-branded elements. The latest generation of IWC Pilot Performance Chronograph 41 AMG special edition in 2023 dares to break through the existing design and innovates the materials, appearance, and even functions.
