IWC and Russell Unveil Bold Ceramic Pilot’s Watch Collection
The Swiss brand IWC Schaffhausen, together with the driver of the Mercedes team, George Russell, has unveiled two exclusive models from the Pilot’s Watch collection.
The limited-edition Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 George Russell and Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 George Russell are crafted in black zirconium-oxide ceramic. The hands, markers, and strap are executed in the driver’s signature rich blue color the same shade he uses in Formula 1. His racing number, 63, is engraved on the caseback.
George Russell commented: “Creating my first timepieces in collaboration with the IWC design team has been an extraordinary experience. I have raced in Formula 1 with a blue helmet since 2019 this color has always resonated with me. It has become part of my life: even when choosing road cars, I tend to gravitate toward similar shades of blue. Seeing this color reflected in both IWC models is truly special.”
