On May 21st, IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr hosted and Mercedes-AMG CEO Philipp Schiemer and IWC and AMG co-brand ambassador and racing driver Maro Engel It was first revealed via a webcast featuring Maro Engel).

“IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG share a passion for performance and design, as well as a commitment to engineering excellence in the smallest detail,” said Christoph Granger-Hair, CEO of IWC. “For the past 17 years, IWC and AMG have Through partnership, we have shared thrilling moments in various fields, including motorsport, and created memories that will be cherished for a long time in our customers’ hearts. Now, starting with this Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “AMG”, we will present Mercedes-AMG as part of the IWC Pilot’s Watch collection.”
The Pilot’s replica Watches Chronograph Edition “AMG” (Ref. IW377903) is made of a lightweight yet durable grade 5 titanium alloy. The diameter of the case is 43mm and the thickness is 14.9mm, so it is not the new Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 size introduced this year, but the original 43 version. The all-matte-finished Grade 5 titanium case is reminiscent of AMG’s signature color, Selenite Gray Magno.
The dial is made of carbon fiber, which is used in AMG’s aviation engine parts. The unique woven pattern detail of carbon fiber is a definite point in the design, and since the material itself is very hard and light, it can be seen that the watch is focusing on weight reduction as a whole. Arabic numerals and hands are always coated with Super-LumiNova, and only the minute-second-hour counters at 12-6-9 o’clock are finished with silver-colored snails, emphasizing the sporty impression while considering readability.
The movement is equipped with the in-house automatic chronograph caliber 69385, which is applied without exception to the recent Pilot’s Watch chronograph line (frequency 4 Hz, power reserve 46 hours). Instead of abandoning the traditional soft-iron inner case design, the sapphire crystal caseback lets you admire the unique movement.
In the center of the smoked sapphire crystal, you can see the Mercedes-AMG logo and the product name print. The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 released this year has a see-through caseback, but introducing a see-through caseback to the 43 version also shows the direction of the collection. However, the water resistance of the case is 60m instead of 100m of the 41mm version, following the existing specifications. It also did not adopt a proprietary interchangeable system named EasX-CHANGE.
