Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One™ Team

The IWC Pilot's Watches is a collection of dependable timepieces designed for the cockpit. However, with an ultra-chic aesthetic, it is no surprise that it ventured out of the aviation world and landed on the wrists of watch collectors around the globe. Its journey began in 1936 with the Special Pilot's Watch and progressed into the 1940s with iconic models like the Big Pilot's Watch Calibre 52, designed for the German military and the Navigator's Wristwatch Mark 11 for the British Royal Air Force. These watches became a top choice amongst the best militaries in the world primarily due to IWC being an early adopter of innovative materials, mechanisms, and functionality. And it's this spirit that has made the Pilot's Watches one of the most sought-after timepieces throughout watchmaking history and even more today.
