In watchmaking and in racing, every second counts. Since 2013, IWC Schaffhausen has been the Official Engineering Partner of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team. The partnership is founded on a shared passion for world-class engineering, maximum performance and precision pushed to its absolute limits, down to the fractions of a second.

The Big Pilot’s Watch from IWC Schaffhausen and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class are modern icons of sport luxury. Two special-edition Big Pilot’s Watches celebrate their shared utilitarian DNA, referencing hallmark G-Class design elements like the distinctive headlights and the spare wheel cover while showcasing exceptional robustness. One version features a case and crown crafted from 18-carat Armor Gold®, the other marks IWC’s first use of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) case.
