Six-time Formula 1 world champion, driver Lewis Hamilton is also very comfortable when it comes to posing as a model.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport\u2019s official partner, the Swiss manufacturer presents two models inspired by the world of Formula One in general\u2014and the British team in particular\u2014in order to celebrate its title of constructor world champion. They are equipped with a matt black zirconium oxide ceramic case and a carbon fibre dial. In this, both watches make their materials that are characteristic to Formula One single-seaters, and especially to the famous Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ power +. With an emerald green dial elements and strap stitching, they both feature the Petronas team\u2019s colour. Another similarity resides in their calibres, though they are not equipped with the same complications. They do, however, benefit from an ingenious automatic winding system ensuring a substantial power reserve of 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But IWC doesn’t stop there in its tribute to motor racing. She also signs another special edition, based on the same QP but created in partnership with Lewis Hamilton, who was crowned for the sixth time Formula 1 world champion and still comes a little closer to the record (seven titles) held by Michael Schumacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being the outstanding driver of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, the 34-year-old is a true fashion icon and an essential lifestyle reference. His model, the \u201cLewis Hamilton\u201d Big Pilot\u2019s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition, has a sturdy ceramic case and features a Bordeaux-red dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highly seductive and original, the watch (yes, definitely the watch) as a whole, is a work of contrast, with its gold-plated hands, case back and movement rotor, along with its red gold \u2018cone crown.\u2019 These colours were chosen by Hamilton himself, a known Haute Horlogerie enthusiast. And he doesn\u2019t hide either his pride or his enthusiasm: \u2018this partnership with IWC was incredibly exciting for me, and it\u2019s been an honour to collaborate so closely with the watchmakers in Schaffhausen. Together we\u2019ve designed a beautiful timepiece which combines two things I am really passionate about\u2014craftsmanship and design\u2014and I am so pleased with the result.\u2019 The instrument is indeed a true micromechanics jewel, and as such, it is issued to a limited 100-piece edition. Its generous 46.5 mm-diameter displays a perpetual calendar that is associated with a double moon phase display\u2014one for each hemisphere\u2014which only deviate a single day every 577.5 years from our satellite\u2019s natural cycle. Also noteworthy is the beautiful chromatic harmony between the dial and the ultra-resistant textile strap. It gives the model an undeniable style and an actual personality, both of which make this merging of modernity, originality, elegance and sportiness an absolute success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Pilot\u2019s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition is limited to a 10 piece-only series. As its name suggests, it is equipped with a perpetual calendar. This clever device displays the day, date, month and leap year, an information that will not require any adjustment until 2100, when our Gregorian calendar will see an exception. There is no need to worry about the notably heavy-duty components either: they are made from ceramic and are practically wear-free. The model also houses a two-phase moon system for both northern and southern hemispheres\u2014also a \u2018perpetual\u2019 mechanism according to IWC\u2014as it requires only one adjustment every 577.5 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
