    Today, something special arrived . My last pilot chrono was the Mojave. I love
    that watch, very special. I was fortunate to get one of the 500 pieces made.

    Then I discovered that there was another ceramic chrono IWC made. But I was
    too late to order one, the 50 pieces had all a name behind each number.

    But what a beauty it was. The Pilot made for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team, in
    ceramic with a carbon dial, with a touch of the green like seen on the cars.

    Since I am a huge F1 fan and fan of the Mercedes AMG team, that was a watch I
    regretted not having in my collection. Since then I was on the lookout to find
    one, mission impossible I tought. But look, I was lucky and today this one
    came into the collection.

    So happy.

    "The colours of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport Formula One TM team
    inspire the smart, black design, with details in characteristic "PETRONAS
    Emerald Green". Limited to just 50 pieces, this chronograph features a black
    ceramic case and a black carbon fibre dial."

    made a little table to present the watch, a used F1 tire and rim.

    Always a nice thing when your long search ends= in fact, the search is
    sometimes the best part of the acquisition. Well done, Tonny.

    The dial is tricky to photograph.

    Your first image made me dizzy. Versus the one on your last post which is much
    better.

    Congrats and enjoy !!!

    What a perfect watch! Congratulations on the addition to your collection, it's
    a gem. I wasn't even aware of the reference. I like the idea of a ceramic
    watch for everyday wear and had looked longingly at the new "Top Gun
    chronograph " but this is a much cleaner look.

    What an awesome find, Tonny, huge congratulations!

    And that F1-wheel plus Valtteri's gloves: Just awesome and well deserved.

    Greetings from an older AMG watch not that rare (145 pieces
    made).
