The 2025 Formula One season is gearing up, and IWC has hit the track first with the launch of its Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team edition of the Mark XX. This time-and-date watch blends the brand’s pilot watch heritage with the signature style of the Petronas team, offering fans and team members alike a piece of motorsport-inspired craftsmanship.
The new Mark XX edition, reference IW328210, carries a compact 40mm sandblasted titanium case with a slim 10.6mm profile. It offers 100 meters of water resistance, a screw-in crown, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal designed to withstand sudden pressure changes. The caseback features the distinctive AMG Petronas logo, further emphasizing its racing pedigree.
The dial mirrors the design of the 2022 chronograph, with a matte black base and blackened hands. Every detail, including the luminous markers, numerals, and even the date window, is rendered in the iconic Petronas green. Paired with a green rubber strap, complete with IWC’s EasX-CHANGE system for quick swaps, the watch exudes a bold yet functional aesthetic.
At its heart is the IWC-manufactured calibre 32111. This automatic movement operates at 4Hz and delivers an impressive five-day (120-hour) power reserve, thanks to its efficient design. The stop-seconds mechanism ensures precise time-setting, a feature aligned with the precision required in both aviation and motorsport.
With roots tracing back to the 1940s military-issued Mark X, the Mark XX builds on decades of tradition. This watch is not only a tribute to IWC’s aviation history but also a nod to the cutting-edge world of Formula One, making it a perfect accessory for fans and team members of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team.
