Introducing the IWC's Dazzling Duo: Limited-Edition Pilot’s Watches Designed in Collaboration with F1 Driver George Russell

Published: 06 Feb 2026
Swiss luxury watchmaker IWC has teamed up with F1 driver George Russell to produce two limited-edition timepieces - the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 and Pilot's Watch Automatic 41.

As motorsports enthusiasts eagerly await the return of the Formula 1 season, Swiss watch giant IWC affords some respite with its latest announcement. The brand reveals its new collaboration with Mercedes-AMG driver George Russell, resulting in two compelling limited-edition pilot’s watches: the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 George Russell and Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 George Russell.

These timepieces feature Russell’s signature blue, a chronic presence on his helmet, cleverly woven into their design. Housed in a sleek, black zirconium oxide ceramic case, the watches bear testament to IWC’s mastery over high-tech ceramics. The distinctive blue also graces the black dials, numerals, indices, hands, and it even contributes to low-light legibility through a blue Super-LumiNova® feature.

Limited to 1,063 pieces each, these watches are as exclusive as their inspiration, George Russell. With IWC’s EasX-change system, the blue rubber straps on both models offer convenient, tool-free strap alteration, reinforcing the elements of user-friendly luxury.

The partnership between IWC and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team keeps ticking since 2013, marking the brand’s consistent presence in racing history. Bearing the essence and energy of F1’s rising star, George Russell, these signature timepieces are predicted to be the favorite among Russell and Mercedes’ devotees alike.
