IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘AMG’: A Commanding Collaboration

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘AMG’ is the latest product to celebrate the partnership that has linked Swiss luxury watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG since since 2004.

Crafted from automotive engineering materials, the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition ‘AMG’ (Ref IW377903) is IWC’s first 43mm Pilot’s Watch Chronograph with a case made of extremely light and scratch-resistant titanium. The Grade 5 titanium finish gives the watch its matte grey appearance, inspired by AMG’s signature Selenite Grey Magno paint finish.

The dial features precisely woven carbon fibre, a material directly derived from AMG’s aero components. These parts are produced in a complex process involving heat and pressure and are known for their remarkable lightness and rigidity. The raw material is continuous carbon fibres, which are processed on weaving machines into textile structures, giving the end product its characteristic woven “carbon look”. The black carbon dial provides the perfect contrast to the silver chronograph sub-dials, reminiscent of motorsport instruments.

The all-around performance watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured calibre 69385, a robust and precise chronograph movement that enables stop time measurements of up to 12 hours. The chronograph function is controlled by a column wheel, an intricate component with two functional levels. The Mercedes-AMG logo is emblazoned on the tinted sapphire crystal case back.

The timepiece is complemented by a black embossed calf leather strap with contrast stitching and folding clasp.
