IWC PILOT´S WATCHES IW0189

This limited-edition watch, a collaboration between IWC and the movie *F1®*, sparked considerable discussion upon its release, given IWC's close partnership with the Mercedes F1 team in recent years. The Pilot's Watch Chronograph 43 APXGP continues the Pilot's Watch series' signature tool-watch style, paying homage to the "APXGP" team in the film. The black dial with white and gold Arabic numerals offers a clear and aesthetically pleasing contrast. At 43mm in diameter and 14.5mm in thickness, it's a standard size for a chronograph. The day and date display, along with the brand logo, are located at 3 o'clock; despite its many functions, the overall design remains neat and tidy. The rubber strap and stainless steel case give it a sporty feel, suitable for those who appreciate racing culture or prefer a more casual style. The see-through case back reveals IWC's in-house 69385 automatic chronograph movement, featuring 33 jewels, a 28,800 vibrations per hour frequency, and a 46-hour power reserve. While not groundbreaking, it's a solid choice for everyday use as an in-house chronograph movement. However, for F1 fans, this watch certainly carries a nostalgic appeal. Simply put, it's more like a tool table with a backstory, designed for people who value both passion and practicality.
