IWC has revealed its latest motorsport-inspired watch of its Chronograph 41 model in a new iteration for the Miami Grand Prix 2023. The release is modeled on the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. Furthermore, it comes with a pink rubber strap in Miami style with a campaign that stars Lewis Hamilton with the watch.
In contrast to the first model for the Miami Grand Prix in 2022, the new chronograph contains many similarities where it is also crafted to be lightweight but with a robust grade 5 titanium case in 41 mm sizing. It includes a matte black dial with Petronas’ green luminous markings similar to the first model. In addition, the watch is done with a unique green-colored imprint that circles the open caseback. Additional details include 10 ATM water resistance, an in-house automatic calibre 69385, and 46 hours of power reserve.
