IWC Adopts The Woodland Concept For Its Clever Pilot's Watch Timezoner TOP GUN
IWC Schaffhausen is well known for its pilot’s watches, its TOP GUN sub-collection and the use of ceramics. These three elements come together in the brand’s latest travel watch, the Pilot’s Watch Timezoner. The Timezoner, to keep it short, was introduced only a couple of years ago and is available as a pure travel watch or as a chronograph. IWC now adds a new style to the simpler of the two, the Pilot’s Watch Timezoner. Following the steel and blue ‘Le Petit Prince‘ and the all-black Ceratanium, this impressive wrist companion is presented in a TOP GUN Woodland forest-green ceramic execution, expanding the ‘Colours of TOP GUN‘ range.The formidable 46mm wide case is machined out of green ceramic, a material IWC has extensive experience with. The case is fitted with a black Ceratanium rotating bezel (and crown), but don’t mistake it for a diving bezel. Instead, pressing down on the bezel allows you to rotate it in both directions, wi
Introducing The Miami Pink IWC Pilot Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas
Ten years… That’s how long the partnership between Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen and Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team is… And this connection has seen the creation of multiple watches, either dedicated to the world of motorsport in general, to the pilots of the team (Lewis Hamilton first and foremost), to its boss or to the team itself. The most focused watch in the lineup is, without a doubt, the Pilot's Watch Chronograph 41 Mercedes-AMG Petronas, with its green accents on the dial and green rubber strap. On the occasion of the upcoming Miami Grand Prix this weekend, IWC brings the heat in typical Florida-style, with a Miami Pink edition of its titanium chronograph.last year saw the introduction of the reference IW388108, a rather compact titanium pilot’s chronograph with a livery-matched green rubber strap and the same colour to be found all over the dial. Presented as the team watch, as such meant to be worn by the team's designers, aerodynamicists,
2022 IWC Portugieser Blue Panda IW500715 and IW371620
The Portugieser family by IWC needs little to no introduction anymore, being one of the most acclaimed collections of the Schaffhausen-based brand. A nautical-inspired watch born in the 1930s following the request of two Portuguese merchants and sailing enthusiasts, it has become a classic that hardly changed over the years. Today, IWC introduces new versions of the Portugieser Automatic and the Portugieser Chronograph, two of the most popular models in the collection, which not only look rather appealing but also perfectly match the nautical background of this family of watches, with so-called “panda blue” dials.The combination of silvery-white dial and blue accents is amongst the most classic style you can find on an IWC Portugieser – if not the most emblematic combination. Adding a stronger nautical touch to these already nautical-related watches, this colour schema has a strong appeal and has been found on most of the members of the Portugieser family – the
