PURE PERFORMANCE
This 100-piece limited edition flies high the Formula 1 partner team’s colors. State-of-the-artness and high-design interact in this exceptional timepiece.
With the first two Grands Prix under their belt, this season’s definitely going to be another thrilling one. The manufacture rolled out its Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber XPL Toto Wolff x Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula OneTM Team to celebrate the charismatic entrepreneur at the head of IWC‘s partner team. This limited edition includes the SPRIN-g PROTECT® shock absorber device introduced in 2021. Thanks to its cantilever spring, this system ensures the caliber components don’t budge an inch in the event of impact up to 30,000 g.
On this model, the part was crafted in extremely-elastic metallic glass, a material which absorbs most forces before they can damage the movement. As well as being high-tech, this element also plays a role in the watch’s design with its “Petronas green” Super-LumiNova® adornment. This choice provides a perfect contrast with the black textured dial and the 44 mm-diameter Ceratanium® case, a material which combines the lightness and sturdiness of titanium with the hardness of ceramic. The hour and minute hands are driven by a selfwinding movement in this remarkable scenescape. The high-performing Caliber 32101 delivers a power reserve of five days. All you need to follow a Grand Prix from the start of free practice sessions through to the award ceremony in the best conditions. For a max of comfort, the watch is worn on a choice of green rubber strap or an optional black one with textile inlay.
