GEORGE RUSSELL AND IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN TEAM UP
TO DESIGN TWO LIMITED EDITIONS
IN THE DRIVER’S SIGNATURE BLUE
Schaffhausen, February 5th,
2026: IWC Schaffhausen has collaborated with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS
Formula One™ Team driver, George Russell, on the design of two limited
edition Pilot’s Watches. Comprising a chronograph and an automatic
model, these editions are both crafted in black zirconium oxide ceramic.

They feature black dials with printing and luminescence in a striking
blue colour, reflecting the signature blue hue also seen on Russell’s
helmet. The watches are equipped with titanium case backs and engraved
with the driver’s starting number, “63”. The chronograph is powered by
the IWC-manufactured 69380 calibre, while the automatic model features
the IWC-manufactured 32112 calibre. Both watches come with durable blue
rubber straps fitted with the EasX-CHANGE® system.

2019,
George
Russell debuted in
Formula One™. After joining the
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team in
2022, the Briton instantly claimed pole at the
Hungarian Grand Prix™ and seven podiums within his first
20 races.
Russell has since secured five
Grand Prix victories for the team, with
his latest win at the
2025 Singapore
Grand Prix. The acclaimed racing
driver has now collaborated with
IWC’s creative team to design two
limited-edition
Pilot’s Watches, bringing his creative vision to the
brand.

Throughout his whole career,
the colour blue has had a significant meaning for
Russell. After
initially racing for the
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team with a
black helmet, he soon reverted to the blue-dominant design that has long
served as the foundation of his racing brand.

Standing apart on the
Formula 1™ grid, the colour blue is uniquely associated with Russell and
emblematic of the duality he brings as a driver: calm under pressure,
yet fiercely competitive. This unique shade, which is also present in
Russell’s current helmet design, is at the core of these special
editions: both feature dial details and rubber straps in Russell’s
signature blue colour.

“It has been an
unforgettable experience working with IWC Schaffhausen’s creative team
on the design of my first ever limited-edition watches. By incorporating
my signature blue colour that has accompanied me during most of my
career as a racing driver, as well as my 63 Logo, these watches feel
truly personal and unique to me. These two limited-edition Pilot’s Watch
pieces are reflective of where my journey has taken me so far and of
what I have been able to achieve on and off the race track”,
says George
Russell.

“Since 2013, we have enjoyed a close relationship not only with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team, but also with the team’s drivers. It was an honour to collaborate with George Russell to bring his vision of a bold sports watch to life. These special editions truly capture his spirit as a person and gifted driver.”

The
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 George Russell (Ref. IW389411) combines materials that are emblematic of the comprehensive expertise
IWC has acquired since the
1980s. Its
41.9-millimetre case is crafted from black zirconium oxide ceramic, a material
IWC pioneered four decades ago. Ceramic is lighter than steel and highly scratch-resistant, making it an attractive choice for watches.

The crown and the pushers are made of
Ceratanium®, an
IWC-developed material that combines the lightness of titanium with a hardness and scratch-resistance similar to that of ceramic. The black dial features indices and numerals printed in
George Russell’s signature blue shade. The black hands are filled with Super-LumiNova® in the same colour. The chronograph is powered by the
IWC-manufactured
69380 calibre with a power reserve of
46 hours.

George Russell. It is powered by the
IWC-manufactured
