The Case

As you can expect, this new model merges classic IWC Pilot watch replica elements with the signature colours of the F1 team. Based on the 41mm chronograph, it actually goes a bit further than just showing new tones. While the case of this IW388108 replica retains the same dimensions as the watch from the standard collection, meaning 41mm in diameter and 14.6mm in height, it isn’t made of steel anymore but from grade 5 titanium, a lightweight and rigid alloy that has long been used in automotive engineering to produce car parts subject to immense stresses. The case is here mostly sandblasted, resulting in a dark greyish tone, and features polished accents on the bezel, crown and pushers. The case features sapphire crystals on both sides, a screw-down crown and has a comfortable water-resistance of 100 metres.

The Dial

Framed by a slim bezel and protected by a sapphire crystal with antireflective treatment that is also secured against displacement by drops in air pressure, the dial features a 6-9-12 layout with snailed counters.


The black hands, just like the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock hour markers, are coated with Super-LumiNova for improved visibility in poor light conditions. The day and date apertures at 3 o’clock complete the indications.   


The chronograph start and stop functions are activated by using the pusher at 2 o'clock while the one at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The screw-in crown contributes to guarantee waterproofness up to a pressure of 10 bar (approximately 100 metres / 330 feet).



The Movement

Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the IWC-manufactured 69385 calibre is a robust and precise chronograph movement characterized by a classic column wheel design and excellent finishes including Côtes de Genève and perlage. When the chronograph is actuated, there is no hesitation or wobble. 


Beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and consisting of 231 parts, this movement guarantees a power reserve of 46 hours thanks to a reliable bi-directional pawl winding system similar to the Pellaton mechanism.

The IW388108 comes with a black embossed calfskin strap and a Petronas Green rubber strap, both closed by a titanium pin buckle.
