Where Motorsport Precision Meets Aviation Heritage
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “AMG” Ref. IW377903 is a testament to the enduring partnership between IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG, which began in 2004. This timepiece seamlessly integrates the high-performance ethos of motorsport with the precision and reliability of aviation-inspired watchmaking.
Lightweight Titanium Case with Motorsport Aesthetics
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the 43mm case offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight, ensuring comfort during extended wear. The titanium’s matte grey finish is reminiscent of AMG’s signature Selenite Grey Magno paint, providing a sleek and modern appearance. The case is complemented by a black carbon fiber dial, a material commonly used in AMG’s aero components, giving the watch a distinctive and sporty look.
High-Performance Chronograph Movement
At the heart of the IW377903 lies the IWC-manufactured Caliber 69385, a robust automatic chronograph movement. This movement features a column-wheel mechanism for precise chronograph operations and offers a 46-hour power reserve. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the Caliber 69385 ensures accurate timekeeping and reliability.
Functional and Stylish Dial
The black carbon fiber dial is adorned with silver-plated chronograph sub-dials and a day-date display at 3 o’clock, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. The use of luminescent material on the hands and hour markers ensures readability in low-light conditions. The dial’s design draws inspiration from motorsport instruments, reflecting the watch’s performance-oriented nature.
Exhibition Case Back with AMG Branding
The watch features a transparent sapphire crystal case back, offering a view of the intricate movement within. The case back is emblazoned with the Mercedes-AMG logo, highlighting the collaboration between the two brands and adding an exclusive touch to the timepiece.
Comfortable and Durable Strap
Securing the watch is a black calfskin leather strap designed to complement the carbon fiber dial. The strap is fitted with a titanium folding clasp, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. This combination of materials provides both durability and a refined appearance.
