IWC Pilot Chronograph Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team IW388108 2023 [Preowned]
Overview
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One™ Team IW388108 is a bold expression of IWC’s longstanding partnership with one of the most dominant F1 teams in modern history. Crafted from lightweight and highly durable Grade 5 titanium, the 41mm case wears comfortably while offering exceptional strength—ideal for a watch inspired by the demands of elite motorsport. Its brushed finish adds a utilitarian edge, while the signature pilot-style chronograph layout keeps legibility at the forefront.
What immediately sets this reference apart is the vibrant Petronas green accents that bring energy to the otherwise monochrome dial. The color is used sparingly yet effectively—on the chronograph seconds hand, subdial hands, and hour markers—bringing a dynamic, sporty flair that ties it unmistakably to the team’s livery. This pop of color stands out crisply against the matte black dial, ensuring excellent visibility and a unique aesthetic character.
Inside, the IW388108 is powered by the IWC-manufactured calibre 69385, a robust column-wheel chronograph movement with a 46-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, where the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team logo is etched into the crystal—an elegant nod to the partnership. This combination of mechanical performance and branding makes the watch equally appealing to motorsport fans and horology enthusiasts.
Completing the look is a green rubber strap that enhances its sporty profile and ensures all-day comfort. The strap is fitted with IWC’s practical EasX-CHANGE® system, allowing quick swaps to suit different looks or environments. Altogether, the IW388108 is not just a pilot’s chronograph—it’s a contemporary sports watch that connects precision engineering on the track with the technical mastery of IWC's watchmaking, making it a standout timepiece in the brand’s lineup.
