IWC has condensed the F1 gene into three pilot chronographs. This special work related to the movie "F1®" is inspired by the fictional team "APXGP", combining the track aesthetics and watchmaking craftsmanship to create a breathtaking mechanical art. The best IWC Pilot replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
The colors and details of the new chronograph are inspired by the team colors and racing cars of the fictional 11th F1™ team "APXGP" in the film. As the screen watch of the rising star Joshua Pearce, this 18K 5N gold case can be called a "miniature racing project".
IWC deeply integrates the fast aesthetics of F1 racing with precision watchmaking technology, and collides the 18K 5N warm gold case and black ceramic speedometer bezel to create a breathtaking mechanical tension. The black lacquered dial is as deep and sharp as a racing dashboard, and the gold-plated hour markers and hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova® luminous coating, which still bursts out in the dark night. The mirror-polished ceramic bezel and warm gold case form a vortex of light and shadow intertwined with light and dark. The engine roars through time and space during the rotation, and the surging passion of track racing is cast in a small space.
The black lacquered dial is as deep as the carbon fiber of a racing car. The three gold-plated accumulator subdials are assembled in a suspended structure, and the edges are chamfered and polished at 0.1 mm. The gold-plated three-dimensional hour markers and sword-shaped hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova®, which can present a sharp glow like the taillights of a racing car in the dark night.
The IW378009 (43mm) and IW388116 (41mm) stainless steel models continue the black, gold and white track genes. The dial adopts the golden ratio layout of the team's paint in the movie: the white digital hour markers are as eye-catching as the track logo, and the gold minute scale ring reproduces the aesthetics of the racing instrument panel scale. The APXGP gold badge engraved on the back of the watch is looming under the sapphire glass, just like a hidden Easter egg on the rear wing of the racing car.
The black rubber strap is equipped with a special laser engraving to commemorate the "APXGP" team. The durable and waterproof strap is equipped with IWC's EasX-CHANGE® strap quick-change system, making the watch more suitable for commuting and outdoor wear. The 69385 self-made movement shared by the three works uses a column wheel structure to achieve precise start and stop like racing gear shifting. The two-way pawl winding system is like a turbocharger, and the 46-hour power reserve is enough to complete the timing of two official races. When the chronograph second hand starts to spin, the balance wheel with a swing frequency of 28,800 times/hour is just like the perfect rhythm of the piston of a V6 engine.
