Nico Rosberg has been an Iwc Watches Jamaica Replica ambassador since 2013, when, together with Lewis Hamilton, he became the first driver to join IWC’s family of ambassadors. This year IWC releases the Ingenieur Chronograph “Tribute to Nico Rosberg” to honour the world champion 2016 Formula One driver.

In 12 o’clock, you’ve got three apertures that show the month, date, and day. Also, at 3 and 9 o’clock, you’ve got the power reserve indicator and subsidiary seconds respectively. The thick palms and beefy Arabic numeral hour indices include red gold accents and seem to have been generously applied with luminescent substance so legibility, whether in the day or night, should not be a problem. It beats at a typical 4Hz and comes with a 7-day long power reserve thanks to two mainspring barrels. Additionally, it offers the newest version of IWC’s Pellaton winding system, which has recently been updated with ceramic parts to provide years of wear-free operation. Additionally, it has been handsomely decorated with Côtes de Genève and blued screws. However, the standout feature of the display has got to be the large 18k red gold winding rotor, that was partially skeletonized to make a Lightning P-38 airplane. The choice to use a Lightning P-38 airplane is really a sentimental one as Saint Exupéry disappeared over the Mediterranean sea in one when flying on a reconnaissance mission.Obviously, the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Antoine De Saint Exupéry” will appeal most to fans of The Little Prince and admirers of the author. But, there is a lot to like about the watch even if you are not familiar with Saint Exupéry along with his functions. The tobacco brown dial along with the reddish gold case look like a great match and I particularly enjoy the watch’s winding rotor that’s shaped like a Lightning P-38 plane. The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Antoine De Saint Exupéry” is limited to 250 pieces and is priced at $32,400.
The IWC-manufactured chronograph comes in an 18-carat red gold case, measuring 42mm in diameter, and was was designed by Rosberg himself in collaboration with Christian Knoop, Creative Director at IWC Schaffhausen. A special feature of this watch is its see-through sapphire-glass back, which is printed with the “NICO” lettering from Rosberg’s helmet.
Limited to 23 watches, the Ingenieur Chronograph “Tribute to Nico Rosberg” (Ref. IW380805) recalls Rosberg’s 23 Grand Prix wins. The dial is slate-coloured and the hands are gold-plated. The watch is driven by an IWC-manufactured 69375 calibre, an automatic chronograph movement with a column-wheel control device. The bidirectional pawl-winding system generates a power reserve of 46 hours and the watch beats at 28’800 vph.
