F1 car owner George Russell will have a unique edition watch exclusively through IWC, featuring a black ceramic case and his signature blue accents.




IWC has partnered with Mercedes F1 driver George Russell to release two new limited-edition pilot's watches.



Previously, Russell was observed wearing a custom hard Ingenieur watch - right now he has his own signature watch.



Both the Pilot Automatic 41 and the Pilot Chronograph 41 are restricted editions, each featuring a black ceramic case and George Russell's signature blue features.



British driver George Russell has long been regarded as one of the world's most encouraging young drivers, and 2026 will mark his 8th year in F1. A part of the Mercedes Junior Team, the five-time Grand Tarifs winner began his F1 career with Williams prior to moving to Mercedes within 2022, frequently overtaking their teammate, seven-time world champ Lewis Hamilton. He has verified himself to be an extremely skilled driver, especially after leading to considerable trouble for McLaren last season and conquering numerous challenges brought about by guideline changes. Given his amazing achievements at just 27 years of age, it seems fitting that IWC, Mercedes' long-time watch companion, should release a limited-edition wrist watch exclusively for George Russell to honor his outstanding talent.



These types of new George Russell timepieces are the result of a cooperation between IWC, Russell themself, and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team. Like IWC's current F1 collection, the new George Russell limited edition timepiece utilizes a Pilot's Watch model. This special edition view features Russell's signature glowing blue accents. Russell initially used a black Mercedes group helmet, but he rapidly switched to this cyan, that has become an important element in Russell's official brand image. A year ago, Russell was photographed putting on a custom black fine ceramic Ingenieur watch with his signature bank blue dial. While this watch wasn't publicly released, both of these pilot's watches are minimal editions.



The actual rubber strap, luminescent covering, and dial printing almost all feature Russell's signature blue: IWC even uses exactly the same color scheme for the day display, with blue highlights matching the markers as well as luminescent coating on a dark dial. Like Russell's Ingenieur watches, these pilot's wrist watches have black ceramic instances and are water-resistant to one hundred meters. A surprising new function is that the crown, chronograph drivers, and pin buckle are made of black Ceratanium (IWC's exclusive ceramic and ti hybrid). The convex sky-blue crystal is double-sided anti-reflective and uses a special obtaining device to prevent displacement throughout sudden pressure drops, completely demonstrating the superior quality of those watches as true aviation-grade tools.



The particular blue rubber strap additionally features IWC's EasyX-Change program for easy strap modifications. Of course , if you prefer to make use of a strap from another brand, the standard spring bar is still maintained. Both watches feature Russell's racing number " 63" prominently engraved on the situation back, surrounded by the dramón number, water resistance information, and also the words " Limited Version of 1063 Pieces. "



The Pilot's Watch Automatic 41 George Russell has a diameter associated with 41 mm and a thickness regarding 11. 4 mm. This houses the IWC in one facility Caliber 32112 automatic motion, which vibrates at twenty-eight, 800 vibrations per hour, offers 21 jewels, a date screen, and a 120-hour power reserve. Typically the Pilot's Watch Chronograph forty one George Russell, with a size of 41. 9 milimetre and a thickness of fifteen. 5 mm, is run by the IWC in-house Quality and reliability 69380 automatic movement. Often the Caliber 69380 features a 12-hour chronograph function, day and also date display, 33 gems, a 46-hour power reserve, as well as vibrates at 28, eight hundred vibrations per hour.



Since 2013, IWC provides maintained a partnership using the Mercedes racing team. IWC Chief Marketing Officer Franziska Gesell points out that this effort extends beyond the team to incorporate the drivers. As an F1 fan and a Russell ally, I'm delighted to see your pet have his own special edition enjoy. While this blue is Russell's signature color, I think additionally, it complements the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team's color scheme, sustaining stylistic consistency while leftover unique.



I am also a big fan involving IWC's ceramic pilot's designer watches and hope to own 1 someday. To my information, this is the first pilot's see with a ceramic case along with chronograph pushers crafted from Ceratanium. Previous models used ti, creating a cool two-tone impact, but the black Ceratanium makes the general design more harmonious in addition to unified. I hope this material to be used in future designs.
