Feast Your Eyes on IWC's Breathtaking New Purple Chronograph, Dedicated to the Thrill of Formula 1 Racing

The adrenalin-pumping world of Formula 1 racing is a minefield of uncertain outcomes. However, one constant is the relentless journey towards the next Grand Prix, the next high-octane competition between superstar drivers. In this world, timing is critical and F1-inspired special editions have a standard presence. Reflecting this spirit, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team makes a spectacular entrance. Adorned with a radiant purple dial and finished with the iconic PETRONAS green, this timepiece is the stunning celebration of the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.

For the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix, IWC has taken bold steps. Featuring a grade 5 titanium case, the 41 mm diameter piece is a sight to behold with its vibrant purple dial supplemented by a sunburst finish. It also carries tracks and markers in the signature PETRONAS green, mirrored on the F1 cars. Additionally, it has blacked-out hands with Super-LumiNova inserts and recessed subdials completed with a snailed finish. The double day-date window showcases a black disc with teal-green digits.

Underneath, the watch is powered by IWC’s in-house Calibre 69385, an automatic movement offering 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 46 hours. Its mechanical prowess can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback, revealing circular Côtes de Genève, polished screws, and an openworked rotor with circular graining. The PETRONAS green printed text beneath the glass serves as a constant reminder of the Mercedes-AMG F1 connection.

The Pilot’s Watch 41 Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is set on a vibrant purple rubber strap, adding to its overall allure. It can easily be replaced owing to the convenient EasX Change system. The timepiece costs CHF 7,700 and is not subjected to any production limitation.
