Ciao Roberto as far as I can remember this was described in detail in one of the latest Watch International issues, end of last year I think, but I don't have access at the moment. Should be Ceramic but I am not sure.

Ceramic pawls I believe. -- they were profiled in a Watch International edition last year -- around the time (if memory serves me correctly) when Cal 89360 was upgraded to Cal 89361.

Yes it looks like a Tourbillon movement. But I think placing this movement in an Ingenieur case even as a very limited edition model it would cannibalize the high end Portuguese Family product line.
So I am guessing Ingenieur and a chrono movement too bearing some exotic elements in the case too e.g carbon or titanium and of course the dial just to correlate with the F1 high level engineering. But not tourbillon definitely not tourbillon Roberto.
as promised, I'm back to raise a couple of questions about this intriguing picture, posted in the
"IWC Schaffhausen and MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS team up"
Link to the post: http://www.iwc.com/forum/en/discussion/56326/?page=1
Can someone help me understand what those white clicks are made of?
I think the pictures illustrates a cal 51900, a tourbillon.
BTW, what model, to your thinking, will represent the first output of this renewed collaboration between IWC and AMG?
Thank you for your replies!
Regards,
Roberto

I think this might be white Ceramic.
Correct me if I'm wrong :)
Kind regards,
