IWC Pilot AMG Chronograph Replica – Rubber Strap Edition
The IWC Pilot AMG Chronograph Replica in its rubber strap edition is a sportier, more dynamic expression of IWC’s collaboration with Mercedes-AMG. Designed for high-adrenaline performance and comfort, this 41mm chronograph blends a ceramic tachymeter bezel with a cockpit-inspired dial and a quick-release rubber strap system. It’s a versatile option for active collectors who demand style, precision, and adaptability in one refined timepiece.
Precision Dial with Dimensional Details
Featuring a black gloss dial with recessed sub-dials and bold applied numerals, the face of the watch mimics aircraft cockpit instruments. The applied Arabic numerals and luminous hands are framed in glossy black, echoing the mirror finish of the ceramic bezel. Each chronograph counter is layered with a sloped chapter ring for added depth and clarity.
A vibrant turquoise accent on the day-date display and minute track injects subtle racing energy, while maintaining legibility in all lighting conditions.
Automatic 7750 Movement, Transparent Back
At the heart of this replica is a high-fidelity Asia 7750 automatic chronograph movement, replicating IWC’s in-house CAL.69385. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, revealing Geneva stripes, a column wheel system, and rotor detailing that matches the genuine IWC configuration.
Pushers operate with satisfying resistance and accuracy, making the chronograph not just a showpiece but a functional tool for timekeeping precision.
Rubber Strap Comfort & Quick Change System
This version comes fitted with a premium F-type rubber strap that offers superior comfort and water resistance. It integrates with IWC’s patented EasX-CHANGE system, allowing tool-free switching between this rubber strap and an optional stainless steel bracelet in seconds. The flexibility to swap between sport and formal looks makes this variant especially versatile.
The rubber strap hugs the wrist securely and resists wear and heat, ideal for warm-weather wear, workouts, and fast-paced environments.
