IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG 41 mm Black Dial Titanium Bracelet IW388304

Performance aspects such as high robustness, easy readability and maximum precision are deeply rooted in IWC's DNA as a watch manufacturer. With the Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph, the company presents a chronograph that has been uncompromisingly optimised for performance. This version is dedicated to Mercedes AMG. The performance and sports car subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz has been a partner of IWC since 2004. The 41-millimetre case, the crown and pushers are crafted from grade 5 titanium, an alloy which is around 45 percent lighter than steel and remarkably rigid. The case features a brushed finish with polished details on the horns. An outstanding functional feature of the watch is the ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale, which allows the wearer to measure the average speed in relation to the distance travelled. Matching the polished black ceramic bezel, the model features a black dial with a glossy finish. The recessed totalizers, the hands and the applied indices and numerals in blackened nickel, filled with Super-LumiNova®, provide additional depth and ensure excellent night-time readability. The Pilot’s Watch Performance Chronograph 41 is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre. This mechanical chronograph movement consists of 242 individual parts and is visible through a tinted sapphire glass case back. Its bi-directional pawl winding system builds up a power reserve of 46 hours in the mainspring. Column-wheel control of the chronograph ensures that individual phases in the switching sequence are clearly defined. There is also a distinct tactile resistance when the buttons are pushed. The chronograph features the IWC-typical vertical subdial arrangement. The stopped minutes are displayed directly at the 12 o’clock position, enhancing readability. The watch is water-resistant to 10 bar and delivered with an integrated titanium bracelet with polished middle links.
