Brand: IWC | Model: Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team | Reference: IW388121 | Category: Pilot Watch / Motorsport Chronograph | Release Year: 2026
Last updated: August 28, 2026
The 2026 IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team pairs a deep purple dial—the first purple dial in IWC’s Pilot’s collection—with PETRONAS-green accents and a lightweight Grade 5 titanium case. It is powered by the automatic IWC-manufactured calibre 69385 and fitted to a matching purple EasX-CHANGE rubber strap.
Collectors may appreciate this release because the Singapore-inspired purple dial gives IWC’s familiar team chronograph a completely different identity. The PETRONAS-green details, brushed titanium case and matching strap make it visually distinctive, while 100 meters of water resistance and the manufacture 69385 column-wheel chronograph keep it practical.
IWC has not announced this as a numbered limited edition, so scarcity should not be assumed. Its collector appeal comes from being the first purple dial in IWC’s Pilot’s collection and the fourth official Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One team watch, giving it a clear place within the brand’s motorsport series.
