- IWC and George Russell unveiled limited editions of the Pilot’s Watch Automatic 41 and Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 featuring Russell-led design.
- Both models use black zirconium oxide ceramic with black dials, Russell’s blue accents on lume and strap, and an engraved driver number 63 on the caseback.
- Reported retail prices place the Automatic at about £7,300 and the Chronograph at about £10,100, with the Chronograph reported to use IWC’s in-house 69380 calibre.
